Invisible People

A Malaysian filmmaker currently based in Chicago, Jean Ho has been working on directing and producing an animated docuseries called 'Invisible People', which highlights Malaysia's stateless and refugee communities. Set to be released sometime in May this year, the documentary explores why citizenship should be a fundamental right rather than a government-mandated privilege, and why stateless and refugee communities deserve access to basic rights like education, affordable healthcare, and a stable income, as other Malaysians do. We find out more about this animated documentary series, and how Jean hopes to enact big and small changes through the stories showcased in the film.
