Gadoh produced by Anna Har and directed by Brenda Danker and Namron tells a story of a group of teenagers who fought each other along racial lines; a cycle of hatred and violence further escalated by their environment and school system.What was to be a quick resolution to improve the school’s bad image, was taken as an opportunity for one teacher who believed that real change was possible. She ropes in the help of an old friend and reluctant maverick theater activist for this arduous task.
Is there hope amidst the cycle of discrimination that surrounds us?
Watch Gadoh for their story, and what it may very well tell us about ourselves. The 70 minute film features Namron, Nicholas Liew Davis, Zahiril Adzim, Amerul Affendi and Maya Tan Abdullah.
The film screening will be followed by a sharing session by a group of youths on their experiences in “Living in a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural society”.
The Lim Lian Geok Cultural Development Centre was formed in 1985. Its main objectives are to uphold the principles of democracy, human rights and respect for individuals and ethnic diversities.

The current chairman of the Lim Lian Geok’s Cultural Development Centre is Dato Dr. Toh Kin Woon.
