Overview

They sacrificed their lives fighting for the independence of their country, but their stories remain untold for 60 years. The story begins with a manโ€™s portrait, which has been hanging for more than 30 years in an old wooden house where I was born and grew up in Perak, Malaysia. Itโ€™s long become a taboo that my families do not talk about this man, not even to bring up his name or his past. Eventually I found out he is my grandfather, who sacrificed his life fighting for Malaysiaโ€™s independence and decolonisation, but his and his comradesโ€™ stories are excluded from history. This documentary set out to unveil the mysteries.
