It’s been years since Ewok Perai last set foot in the Temiar village he once called home. The highland communities there made national headlines last year when they built several blockades to stop deforestation. Journey to Raya Padi (Ke Raya Padi) is a film that follows Ewok's journey home for the Temiar celebration and the Semais and Temiars he meets along the way. We speak to one of the director’s of the film, Nik Jassmin Hew, about the issues being tackled in the film, and her hopes for it.
