村民你好

在馬來西亞的歷史中，馬來亞共產黨的作用與影響至今仍然飽受爭議。在抵抗馬共的輿論宣傳中，政府聲稱該党大多數成員是無神論的華人。然而，影響廣泛的馬共分支卻是由馬來西亞穆斯林信徒組成。這部在清真寺裏拍攝完成的紀錄片，描繪了歸隱的馬來亞共產黨員如今平靜的生活。除了記錄他們對數十年遊擊戰爭的回憶外，導演還安排了一部泰國肥皂劇交雜其中。

Synopsis：
In the propaganda war against the Communist Party of Malaya (CPM), much was made of the fact that the party comprised ethnic Chinese who adopted an atheistic political philosophy. This tactic proved effective as the country was mainly Malay and Muslim. However, a large and influential division of the CPM comprised Malay-Muslims. This documentary is a portrait of life in a tranquil South Thailand village, complete with mosque, where the retired members live in exile. Recollections of the decades-long guerrilla war are interspersed with a fictional Thai radio drama.

我們在拍攝《最後一個共產黨員》的時候，原定計劃是前往泰國南部採訪隱居的馬來亞穆斯林共產黨員。但是由於2005年年末泰國南部動盪的局勢，計畫最終被擱置。所以，我們下定決心一定去，並且要製作一部獨立的關於他們的紀錄片。
就像很多國家一樣，馬來西亞的歷史也有太多隱晦，公開的聲音必須要符合霸權話語體系。現在，我們正在試圖找尋遺忘的歷史。

Director’s Statement:
When we shot Lelaki Komunis Terakhir (The Last Communist) in late 2005, the unrest in South Thailand deprived us a chance to visit the village comprising Malay-Muslim members of the Communist Party of Malaya. So we resolved to pay them a visit and do a separate documentary on them when we could.
The history of Malaysia, like any other nation, is not served by shutting out voices that do not conform to a hegemonic telling. Otherwise, we would end up with a history of amnesia.
