2016 Freedom Filmfest

            This is my first time for participating the Freedom Film Fest. I was very excited. From this field trip, i had know that the Freedom Film Fest since 2003 has created a vital platform for social filmmakers and human rights activists to showcase their films and advocate their causes.

           In this trip, we had watch three films in the black box. I was amazed by the film which name 'Stories From My Father'. It is talked about a daughter tries to make connections between her seemingly ordinary life and her father's past as he shares with her about his experiences in detection without trial from 1968-1974, under Malaysia's Internal Security Act (ISA). He was jailed for his involvement in the Labour Party which was subsequently outlawed because of its pro-communist leanings.

         This director of this film is Ashleigh Lim. I hope i can participate this activity next year.
