COMMENT | For almost 20 years, members of the Freedom Film Network (FFN) have shared stories on poverty, inequality, and injustice in Malaysia.
These social justice stories of ordinary people are important, as we live in a backdrop of fear: fear of intimidation and harassment from those who want to silence these stories.
The politics of fear has made us afraid to broach the subjects of race, poverty, and inequality and instead to view them as not our problems, not our issues, and not our struggles.
We have shown through our films that this is not true. These stories are important to us, as Bangsa Malaysia. They are public interest stories that tell the truth, unveil what is beyond the surface and bring to light important human interest issues in Malaysia. These are issues not often covered in the media.
