Synopsis
Gadoh tells a story of a group of teenagers who fought each other
along racial lines; a cycle of hatred and violence further escalated
by their environment and school system.

What was to be a quick resolution to improve the school’s bad image,
was taken as an opportunity for one teacher who believed that real
change was possible. She ropes in the help of an old friend and reluctant
maverick theater activist for this arduous task.

Is there hope amidst the cycle of discrimination that surrounds us?
Watch Gadoh for their story, and what it may very well tell us about
ourselves.


For us, this film is really shows relation between Malays, Chinese and Indian
in Malaysian which have many conflicts. These film depicts conflicts among young
people from different races and how they all end up losing but also shows there
is still hope in stopping this mindless antagonism. In most cases, these racist
sentiments start at home where young people are exposed to discriminatory attitudes
towards other races. These children are planted with reasons to despise each other
