Village People Radio Show

 

 

Directed by Amir Muhammad

Malaysia 2007 / Documentary / 72 min / Color / Dolby 2.0 / 1.33:1 Aspect Ratio / PAL / In  Thai and Malay with English Subtitles



A portrait of life in a tranquil South Thailand village, where the retired Muslim members of the Communist Party of Malaya (CPM) live in exile. Recollections of the decades-long guerrilla war are interspersed with a fictional Thai radio drama.

The latest news about Amir Muhammad's Village People Radio Show, is that Malaysia has banned it outright. That makes it two in a row for Amir. Like his previous documentary The Last Communist, this is a sequel of sorts continuing on a similar topic where The Last Communist left off, with the filmmaker and his team revisiting the village at the Malaysian Thai border, interviewing the Malay-Muslim members of the old communist party.
