No doubt with all the crazy schedules of mine,manage to take some time off getting updated of the on-going humanity issues revolving in malaysia as well as global issues that our local filmakers focussed on.Was accompanied by mom and a guess this year surprisingly Michelle was interested to tag along.Glad she'd like it and get some exposure from the no other than the FREEDOM FILM FESTIVAL annual event.
Flow of Information : Raising the issue of political movement and technology flow going on in our current nation.The recent Acts implemented requires college or university students to ignorantly abide not participating in any political movement through petitions,rallies,written articles,memorandum and the list goes on. Making students to sign to abide the act,indirectly mark a stand to lesser freedom to voice out opinions and shall be caught if against the act. Isn't this fair? Do you think If we keep on playing ignorant because we're having the comfort of 'Everything we want we get?" What about others out there?
Flow of water: Never take our water for granted by just consuming what you need.Ppl out there Penang is the rated the 1st and 2nd highest state of water consumption.Do think twice help conserving water for future usage as estimatedly by 2013 water will be an issue for us. The film focusses on Water Company producing bottled water having the power to demolished sites to build dams in attempt to increase profit margin that have rob people from their native land especially those from indigenous tribes. How can mankind being taken over by greed leaving then COLD and HEARTLESS? Water are also being pump from normal housing estates in various places in United States and reselled it back to the residence area as BOTTLED water which fetches a higher price.Claiming natural land as the company's right to invade for own profits? NESTLE is infact is one of the biggest contribution to it?? End of the day, its still obvious CORRUPTION is the key factor causing harm to all that the rich getting richer the poor getting poorer!
What's Justice? Yet again people from the indigenous tribe get bullied by big companies invading their area claiming it to their benifits due to low education and lack of mobility access to the modern areas.To the extend these big companies willing to hire spies and agents to MURDER the Leader of the tribe to continue their project as planned and again was covered up.
Orang Asli Youth in this Moment : Blissful indigenous people losing interest to study due to the way of approach of modern education couldn't suit their traditional and simple mindset living in the woods.Its rather sad to see the vast difference living in between two world of the Modern to the Backdated Times. The film features youth giving their point of view in their life. Its a challenge and tough issue for the world to overcome such matter uniting both worlds together having the a balance and moderate life instead of being overly outdated or overly materialisticly living.
