19:40 這裡奧斯曼提到想去馬來西亞，但馬來西亞真如想像中美好嗎？ 儘管馬來西亞是穆斯林為主的國家，政策上也願意收容羅興亞人，但隨著國內反難民的情緒升溫，近年來政策已有些變化，包括政府遣返羅興亞人到軍方統治下的緬甸。 就算是緬甸政變以前，儘管聯合國難民署在馬來西亞有辦公室，並發出難民准證，但馬來西亞國內法是不承認難民身分的，因此許多在馬來西亞多年，準備中轉到其他國家的羅興亞難民，始終無法合法工作（因此存在低薪的無證工作現象），兒童也無法接受教育…因此奧斯曼如果成功到馬來西亞，終究還是得想辦法到其他承認難民身分的先進國尋求庇護，才能繼續修學，最終成為醫生。 https://www.thenewslens.com/article/127492
馬來西亞政府非常照顧羅興亞難民？也許華人與馬來人的認知都有落差 - The News Lens 關鍵評論網Unheard wishes. Unanswered cries. “Who cares? We’re just the ones left behind.” In the margins of society, lives unfold far from the spotlight. This is an invitation—not to save, but to witness. To step into the shadows, and truly see.
A sharp, compact poem often speaks louder than a lengthy speech! Giloo presents a curated collection of small but powerful documentaries—short films that, within a limited runtime, deliver layered, resonant stories. Experience the elegance of cinematic brevity, and see how precision in visual storytelling can leave a lasting impression.
For most people, “home” naturally refers to the place one returns to each day—a space of comfort and rest for both body and soul. Yet for many around the world, the feeling of having a home is unimaginable. At some point in their lives, they were forced to leave—because of war, politics, or simply in pursuit of a better life—and began a journey of drifting, searching for a new sense of home. While trying to settle and take root, they continue to yearn for the ghost of a homeland left behind. Can this new home ever replace what was lost? Faced with new identities and unfamiliar neighbors, how do they perceive themselves? Have they become someone new, or are they destined to remain like rootless water plants, adrift?
How are you feeling—right now? Some people fight to be seen in a world that doesn't resonate with them. Some are born into lives where every breath is an act of self-defense, a declaration of worth. Some have lived over seventy years, and even their quiet, repeating days are filled with meaning. All of them live against the current. In this collection, we meet people from different communities and cultural backgrounds—each carving their own path, each telling a story that leaves a mark. Come see how they write their lives, with strength, resilience, and truth.
Men and women who leave their hometowns to make a living in Kabukicho, a surreal life that unfolds after a same-sex wedding, Amis people fishing for baby eels in the depths of night, a band using music to challenge the system… Through innovative short documentaries, filmmakers capture vivid portraits of people and moments in contemporary society. Join Giloo in diving into the heart of these issues, broadening your perspective, and exploring the rich diversity of today’s world.
Exiles trapped day after day in concrete jungles. Border dwellers divided by three towering walls. Survivors of ethnic cleansing, still carrying the weight of loss. The world has never been fair—so where can those without a home find peace, safety, and dignity? Through the lens of documentary film, these displaced lives come into focus. They are no longer just cold statistics, but people with names, faces, and stories. In a year marked by upheaval, when the value of peace feels especially fragile, join Giloo in reflecting on the suffering of the stateless—and the greed that so often leads to tragedy.
