TUNKU Mona Riza and Haris Sulong are two well known names in the movie industry here.

Their film 'Redha', about a young boy with autism and the challenges and joys his family face in raising him, garnered worldwide attention upon its release in 2016.

Tunku Mona and Haris discuss the challenges and also the accolades they have received on the success of this movie, and what changes they would like to see in the industry so that more notable films like 'Redha' can reach the heights that many films from neighbouring countries have reached.

As we continue to strive for the arts to be accepted as an essential educational tool for a developing country, we chat about what it takes to achieve this.

As usual, we are always available on Twitter @othman_kamil and @manvirvictor to bounce off ideas and discuss these topics in more detail. – The Vibes, February 9, 2023
