HerStory Is Our Story Too
Now I'm all for freedom of speech. Everyone has something to say, whether it's music to your ears, or a piercing din in your sheltered mind. Women however, have been having problems with freedom of speech ever since the notion of speaking out loud was thought of to be a great idea - just not for everyone.
So if you're keen to hear and watch some short films about real-life Malaysian women who have voiced out their own personal stories to share, follow the HerStory Films project!
It's a non-profit video storytelling and short film project that puts the real-life stories of 5 Malaysian women on a pedestal for your enlightenment. The cool part? These 5 short films will be directed by 5 well-known local directors namely, Bernice Chauly, Mislina Mustaffa, Crystal Woo, Mien.Ly and Sharifah Amani in her directorial debut.
The 5 stories chosen to be made into short movies are:
It's a pretty powerful initiative, so if you think it's right up your alley, check out HerStory Films project to find out more about where these short films will be screened.
