Ang multi-awarded na filmmaker at playwright na si Bonifacio “Boni” P. Ilagan ay isa sa mga kabataang aktibista, at artista ng bayan na nanguna sa mga pagkilos noong panahon ng batas militar. Sa kaniyang mga likhang sining, nakatanggap siya ng Don Carlos Palanca Awards for Literature, Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) Literary Contest, at kabilang sa Palihang Aurelio V. Tolentino. Isa rin si sir Boni sa mga nanguna sa Campaign Against the Return of the Marcoses to Malacañang (CARMMA) at sa Samahan ng Ex-Detainees Laban sa Detensyon at Aresto (Selda).

Katuwang ng All U.P. Academic Employees Union, samahan ninyo kami sa pag-alala at pakikinig patungkol sa buhay ng mga kabataan at artista ng bayan sa panahon ng Batas Militar.
