Imagine leaving all that you have behind to escape to a foreign land. Imagine running away because you fear for your life and the life of your loved ones. Imagine running to escape from persecution, only to arrive at another form of incarceration. Imagine running towards hope and freedom, only to find that hope is all there is.

RUNNING follows the plight of different individuals who ran away from their homes in Burma in the hopes of freedom and a better life. They are each a refugee, asylum seeker and/or stateless person. As they tell their stories, they delve into their difficult lives in Malaysia in search of stability and the hope of a better future that is denied to them in their home country. Their story represents the stories of many other refugees who are currently in Malaysia.

Directed by Mien Lor
Produced by SUARAM

Bayangkan anda meninggalkan semua kepunyaan anda dan melarikan diri ke suatu negara asing. Bayangkan melarikan diri kerana takut nyawa anda dan orang kesayanganmu dalam bahaya. Bayangkan anda melarikan diri untuk melepaskan diri daripada penindasan, tetapi akhirnya masih ditindas. Bayangkan berlari ke arah harapan dan kebebasan, hanya untuk mendapat tahu bahawa harapan sajalah yang wujud.

BERLARI mengisahkan kesusahan beberapa individu yang melarikan diri dari Burma, dengan harapan untuk mendapatkan kebebasan dan kehidupan yang lebih baik. Mereka adalah pelarian, pencari suaka dan/atau orang yang tidak mempunyai kerakyatan. Mereka menceritakan kehidupan mereka yang susah di Malaysia dalam mencapai masa depan yang lebih baik. Malah, hak inilah yang telah dinafikan terhadap mereka di negara asal mereka. Cerita mereka mewakili cerita-cerita pelarian lain yang kini berada di Malaysia.
