Their Laughter is Our Cry

Kalau anda sudah menerima filem pendek ini melalui e-mail, anda sudah mengetahui ceritanya. Sekiranya belum, filem ini adalah untuk anda. Filem yang dihasilkan oleh Ferdinand Dimadura ini mengisahkan nasib segolongan insan dalam masyarakat yang hidup dalam kemiskinan dan bergantung kepada sisa makanan orang lain. Suatu yang tidak pernah luntur daripada mereka ialah semangat untuk terus hidup.

This film is in English and according to the written narration, it claimed to have been adjudged the Most Popular Short Film, during the 56th Berlin International Film Festival.


Bear with me, I have done some homework and found this film NOT in the List of Award Recipients and I'm not at all impressed with what I found. Okay, you say it may be listed in the somewhat 3600 films submitted to the Berlinale but I could not find one that match the title of this short film, hence, my reservation its authenticity.

Notwithstanding, whatever the source may be, it is a real good watch as it reminds us of the hunger that millions out there suffer from. So, be thankful for what we have, for what we possess (or rather manage) and let's be generous with what God blesses us with.
