The FreedomFilmFest has been bringing socially relevant, human rights films to Malaysians since 2003. Now, as we stay home to stay safe, the folks behind the Freedom Film Network are releasing a specially curated FFF film playlist every Friday - dubbed ‘Weekend Watch with FreedomFilmFest' - on their YouTube channel, giving us plenty to watch, and lots of food for thought. This weekend's playlist is centered around the theme of refugees, as it's World Refugee Day this Sunday, and we speak to Hari Azizan, the director of the short documentary The Invisible Children, which explores how refugee children in Malaysia lack access to education, and how that impacts their life and development.
