One of the major hits in this year's Raya songs is Mimifly's Serumpun (which also has a dance portion with stylized Malaysian Sign Language) and one of the more enjoyable things I've seen are the various dance vids being performed to it (the title means "of the same root/source/group" and in her MV it was explicit with how she had other people showing up Nusantara/SEAsian native attire) from various Malaysians *AND* SEAns especially if you're in the aforementioned Nusantara grouping so I've seen videos from as far north as Cambodia. Anyway, this must be the fault of my algorithm because while I'm getting gorgeous Malaysian Indian dancers in full traditional attire why is the only properly choreographed non-nyonya non-baju Melayu videos from Malaysian Chinese is this Zumba video clearly from somewhere in my neighbourhood if the basketball court in the local park doesn't give it away... I guess at this point that's a cultural dress....

It’s a popular meme in Indonesia to point to neighbors like Malaysia and Singapore and say that things might have been better had it been the British who colonized the country because the Dutch were resource extractors, seeded racial and class divisions, sowed conflicts for their benefit, and conducted genocide, but the British also did the same in many of its colonized lands—India and Pakistan anyone?—who’s to say they wouldn’t have done the same in these lands?

Colonialism, regardless of its form, leaves behind a legacy of division and extraction. Ultimately how a post colonial nation progresses depends on its own people. The past may have shaped the nation but it doesn’t have to define its future.

My friend & one of my first #filmmaking mentors here(Victoria) was Jordan. He's married to one of my Filipino friend's cousins & is a solid human being. Jordan saved me from being scammed & manipulated by shady people in film industry here. He used to loan me gear for free to help support me when I was still in the film industry.

Bangkok Girl is a #DocumentaryFilm that was both produced and directed by Jordan Clark. It's a #LowBudgetFilm, having cost $10,000 to produce, and takes #SexTourism in #Bangkok as its subject.

Bangkok Girl is 43 minutes long and focuses on Pla (full name: Sirirat Rapsithorn), a #bargirl who is 19 years old and who guides Clark through the city. The #DocFilm explores Pla's background and how she came to be where she is. Pla began working as a bargirl at the age of 13, and, while she had managed to avoid being forced into #prostitution up until the point that the documentary was filmed, the film suggests that she will eventually be forcibly prostituted.

In November 2005, the film aired on "The Lens", a program on Canada's #CBC Television. Sweden's #SverigesTelevision also aired the film.

His #documentary on the #Aswang Phenomenon from the #Phillipines

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2ePhqoyLpXQ

"Why did a Canadian make an aswang documentary and create The Aswang Project? The simple answer is because nobody else did. Also, Philippine Mythology is awesome! When I first became interested in Filipino #Folklore back in 2004, I was shocked to find that there was no standardized educational resource for this part of Philippine history. More so, that the information regarding the aswang was inconsistently recycled and scattered. I wished I could find a single resource as a jumping off point to learn more about the history, evolution and societal impacts of the aswang. This is why I made “The Aswang Phenomenon” documentary.

The documentary was a labour of love and I had no idea how it was going to be received. After a short festival run, the documentary was released to the public on October 31, 2011. Three and a half year on, I can’t express my gratitude to those who have embraced the documentary and shared it with others. It is included in university libraries all over the world and has become a staple in many college courses in the Philippines. It is approaching 2 million views on YouTube and has spawned thousands of online comments and discussions."
