The Freedom Film Network (FFN) is a not-for-profit body established to support and develop social documentary filmmaking within the context of freedom of expression and values contained in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights(UDHR) in Malaysia.

They are a collective of filmmakers with a passion for sharing stories that can make an impact and contribute to a more just, equal, and peaceful world.

Making films that highlight the unseen, unheard, and untold in Malaysia requires much passion and grit. There is almost no support to produce, distribute and self sustain from producing what they call “social justice films” in Malaysia.

Nevertheless, in a national landscape where information and media are tightly controlled, social justice films provide an accessible form of alternative and counter-narratives. In many circumstances, it can return the power of representation back to the disenfranchised and marginalized in society.

Recognizing this crucial and strategic role of social films and filmmakers, FFN aims to create a sustainable model for social filmmaking in Malaysia by building a dynamic network of social filmmakers who can support, inspire and work together to produce powerful and relevant films within the constraints of reality.
