“Lot Umah Am” or “The Sea is My Home”, one of the 2 films produced for the FreedomFilmFest 2011 film competition is now online.

Its a documentary about the Indigenous Orang Seletar living on the Straits of Johor whose livelihood and way of life is threatened by the development process in the area. This documentary was screened in many states throughout Malaysia as part of the FFF premiere roadshow including screenings in Johor Bharu and also in the community musuem of the Orang Seletar in Kg Temun recently.

It generated a lot of discussion amongst the community and also it gave the orang Seletar an outlet to voice their concerns.

On December 15, 2011 a group of about 500 Orang Seletar made a historic protest outside the Johor state assembly in Kota Iskandar, Johor, to voice their anger over the transfer of their ancestral land to developers of the Iskandar Malaysia project along the Johor Straits.
