How to watch: You can stream the documentary On Demand via Ultra Box, PVR Box, or the Astro GO app now.
Told through the work and vision of a new generation of filmmakers, animators, and visual artist Red Hongyi, this docu-story focuses on veterans who served the nation during the Darurat and Konfrontasi periods of our country.
Going beyond the story of their exploits, the film attempts to bring history to life in a very personal way, as the veterans share stories of how their time defending our country transcended race, creed, language, and culture.
May this film inspire everyone to once again believe in the story of ‘kita’, and the role each individual can play in this amazing collective called Malaysia.

Meet Hiro, Sarah, Lavaniya, and Kamala — uncover their stories about acceptance and the bonds of love that go beyond blood ties.
This is the first ever documentary about transracial and transcultural adoption amongst Malaysian families, whose stories are often overlooked by society. Although their appearances and ethnicities differ from their adoptive families, that does not diminish the love they feel for each other in any way.
Besides that, the lineup on the Astro 25 channel includes notable Malaysian films such as Ola Bola, The Journey, Paskal, Polis Evo, and Hantu Kak Limah, all of which have achieved unimaginable box office success
