Fatimah's Kampung
Fatimah lives in the last kampung untouched by the city's relentless expansion, a place where ancient traditions and nature thrive. Her family's ancestral home, a sacred keramat, and a patch of forest with hidden tigers have long been protected from the encroaching Development.
But when the city finally arrives, tearing down the forest and kampung to build a factory, Fatimah witnesses the destruction of her world. Yet, this isn't the end for her home, the doves, or the elusive tiger, as Fatimah's story becomes a parable about a rapidly changing world, reminding us of its wonders and the barrenness we risk creating.
