Malaysian Gods

Amir Muhammad's latest movie Malaysian Gods has been passed by the Malaysian Film Censorship Board, after 3 weeks of deliberation!

This is good news as his last two movies Lelaki Komunis Terakhir (2006) and Apa Khabar Orang Kampung (2007) were banned from screening in Malaysia, but were featured in dozens of film festivals overseas including Berlin, London, Pusan and Buenos Aires. Both the documentaries touched on the role of communism in national history.
