They Keep Quiet So We Make Noise
The documentary short They Keep Quiet So We Make Noise, follows two activists in the Enviro Protection Agency of Kuala Langat during a night drive as they fight against the tide of plastic waste being sent to Malaysia from overseas.

Climate change seems like a problem of a far distant future. We just go on with business as usual. But climate change, just like the loss of biodiversity and the current pandemic, is a consequence of how we treat nature. Corona is a wake-up call that has disrupted all of our lives.


All attention goes towards solving the current problem: controlling the SARS-CoV-2 virus. But prevention is better than cure. To do this, we have to look at how infectious diseases emerge and spread.
