Village People Radio Show

Village Radio is the sequel to Amir Muhammad's documentary The Last Communist. The first Malaysian work to be banned at home, The Last Communist has been invited to over two dozen film festivals since premiering at the Berlinale Forum 2006.

Village Radio takes place in a rural community of retired Malay-Muslim communists. Although of Malaysian origin, they now live across the border in South Thailand. Recollections of their decades-long guerrilla warfare against the Malaysian government are interspersed with a fictional Thai radio soap opera.

Shot in a tranquil manner that privileges sensory immediacy over factual didacticism, Village Radio is a soulful immersion in marginal histories.
