△ 影片介紹 FILM SYNOPSIS

1880年,華人被英殖民政府引來馬來西亞森美蘭州開採錫礦,他們蓋起房子、學校、神廟、雜貨店……一步步建立起文丁鎮客家村。當錫礦被掏空,資本主義使然,開發的怪手伸向這個存在近一個世紀的村落,六十多名村民與關注土地正義的民眾並肩對抗拆遷的命運。馬來西亞社運人士陳湘鳳與陳俊生發起非政府組織「文丁之友」(Rakan Mantin),以社區發展與歷史文化維護方式捍衛客家村村民的居住權利。他們以紀錄片《傳家之憶》,訪問年邁的村民江婆婆,細細訴說客家村88年以來的變遷。

Grandma Kong has lived all of her life in Kampung Hakka, a 100 year old village in Malaysia. At 80, she wants to live out her remaining years in the only home she's ever known. But her village is under threat of demolition, due to a questionable land grab orchestrated by local officials and a private developer. This film portrays the community spirit and culture of the village, who banded together to fight for their right to remain on their land.
