Film: Jangan Tanya, Jangan Canang Information

Translating to “don’t ask, don’t tell”, Jangan Tanya, Jangan Canang encapsulates the struggles of growing up in an Asian culture. The story follows two Malay families from different socio-political backgrounds who discover they have more in common than they thought when a family secret is revealed.

Touching on generational differences, culture and identity, the film exposes various contradictions in the characters’ feelings and behaviour that underscore a fear of judgment from others. Will the young ones, who stay quiet and observe from a distance, be able to save the day?
