KOMAS: Mari Kita Beraktivism DVD Out Now!

Pusat Komunikasi Masyarakat (KOMAS) is proud to announce it’s newest
Human Rights Education Video (DVD) -
“Mari Kita Beraktivism-Let’s Be an Activist” for sale now!
Launched on the 16th May 2008, the compilation of short engaging human rights films premiered to a packed gallery in Annexe, Central Market.
The documentary series follows three ordinary yet distinctive personalities whose lives were transformed by their own experiences of human rights violations in “Bestlah Punk”, “Binatang Pun Perlu Tanah” and “No Damn Right”. All films are subtitled in English.
“Very inspirational films. I felt especially emotional when I saw that the indigenous stood up for their ancestral land rights,” commented a viewer, on “Binatang Pun Perlu Tanah”.
“The background music…the stylish editing makes it very appealing to the youth. In “Bestlah Punk”, it’s encouraging to see these youths trying to make an impact in the society they live in.”
“I’m inspired by the courage that Saari Sungib (profiled in “No Damn Right”) and his wife displayed throughout the time when he was an ISA (Internal Security Act) detainee. Touching yet informative.”
Much encouraged by the positive feedback, KOMAS believes that this powerful medium (film) can truly educate and empower its viewers effectively unlike any other medium. Other than raising the public’s awareness on human rights issues in Malaysia, these films act as a springboard to generate meaningful discussions among its viewers. Do refer to the attached flyer for a synopsis of the films.






“Two fastcore bands, Common Enemy (U.S.) & Weot Skam (Malaysia), join together from different sides of the planet to keep the punk in hardcore while kicking the conservative non-liberated hardcore punk kids straight to their face!! HELL YEAH!! Shredding rifts, fast beats, circle pits, and deep anger will be kicking your teeth in while spinning this record.
