I went to the Freedom Film Fest (FFF) that was introduced by our lecturers at Jaya One yesterday. I only went for the night screening which was from 7pm till 10.30pm. That night, we have watched 3 documentary films in total. After every screening of each documentary, they had a Q&A session with the director of the film respectively.
Among the 3 films that we have watched, I personally think that the first one, "Stories From My Father" directed by Ashleigh Lim, touched me the most. As the title of the film, she filmed her father's hidden past story. She thinks that people out there should know about what his father (and some of his father's friends) had been through in the past especially when her father was caught and jailed for many years and all he did was just stand for their human rights. He also shared the hardship that he faced when he was in the jail, which really pissed me off for a short while.
I am really glad and touched that he did not give up, even until now. It is very heart-warming to see that his wife was willing to wait for him to get out of the jail and to marry to him. It is really touching to know that he had been through so much hardships in the past and now that he living peacefully and has a happy family. I would really want to thank him, and thank to those people who stands up for human rights.
