SCREENING DATE & TIME:

16 SEPTEMBER, 5.00PM

Imagine sleepless nights caused by thundering noises, smelling foul chemical smell while you are at school or seeing factories mushrooming at your once serene neighbourhood. This is the reality of Kampung Sungai Manggis and Kuala Langat residents as their once peaceful neighbourhood is being invaded by heavy industries. Having lived there for 4 generations, their cries have fallen on deaf ears of the local and state authorities.

NOTE: Umashankari Yomarakuro and members of Persatuan Tindakan Alam Sekitar Kuala Langat (PTSKL) will be present at the post-screening discussion.
