Gadoh (2009): A Malaysian short-film by Namron

I think, sometimes, some people just need to be themselves and not 'overdo' things, especially when the others 'in-know' are around- it's not a mere game of impressing or giving the appearance that all's fine and dandy and that i'm a 'team-player', team-contributor etc : i am not impressed at all. In fact, it's a pity that for all that's being done and taught all these while ( I hope..), all that's managed to be picked up is merely a charade of industriousness.

On a separate note, the movie below: Gadoh 2009: is a stunning portrayal of what goes on in the Malaysian youth mind these days- to be fair, I can understand how those thoughts are formulated by certain parties, but one has to always bear in mind that it is also how the other party feels- you need to to tango, literally.

Synopsis
Gadoh tells a story of a group of teenagers who fought each other along racial lines; a cycle of hatred and violence further escalated by their environment and school system.

What was to be a quick resolution to improve the school’s bad image, was taken as an opportunity for one teacher who believed that real change was possible. She ropes in the help of an old friend and reluctant maverick theater activist for this arduous task.

Is there hope amidst the cycle of discrimination that surrounds us?

Watch Gadoh for their story, and what it may very well tell us about ourselves.
