Support the Apa Kata Wanita Orang Asli Programme

Arising from a five-year collaborative project, entitled Apa Kata Wanita Orang Asli, Freedom Film Network (FFN) aims to build the capacity of young Orang Asli women to become leaders and advocators for their rights. Apa Kata Wanita Orang Asli, a young Orang Asli women collective who advocates for indigenous rights through film, produces their own short films and video content based on their own perspectives and realities. They have their own YouTube channel and conduct outreach programmes by organising screening and dialogue sessions. Apa Kata Wanita Orang Asli has been training other young Orang Asli women on YouTube video creation while helping them to come to grips with the issues faced by their community. The team has shifted the lens on a community that has been largely absent on screen. These young Orang Asli women are now building their own media spaces and projecting a positive narrative of their community in the media. 'Support Apa Kata Wanita Orang Asli in their next short film production. We are seeking funds to cover part of the production costs of the film and for the young Orang Asli women to receive the film training to produce their film. Our Funding Goals: RM5,000 is our minimum goal in order to cover some post-production costs related to translation fees from Bahasa Asli to Bahasa Malaysia and English, and subtitles technical needs. RM15,000 to hire a music composer, colorist, and assistant editor.'
