Synopsis:
Zan Azlee, a Malay Muslim documentary filmmaker from Malaysia, travels to Pattani in Southern Thailand to see the violent Islamic insurgency there. He feels somewhat a kin to them since the locals are Thai-Malays and Muslim too. This film is banned from broadcast in Malaysia by the Prime Minister's Office.

2. WE THE PEOPLE… Chatting with academicians about media censorship
Censorship... we never get tired talking about it.

WE THE PEOPLE is a video show where we hear from the common man (and woman!).

3. THE P1 NET SHOW

QTM is when the P1 team gets together and finds out what is going on with everything. It's also an excuse for a little rock star fantasy!

I believe in Web videos! I believe! I believe! I believe!

Here's an excerpt from my latest column in The Malaysian Insider about the latest 1 billion video views mark by YouTube:
I want my YouTube

OCT 18 – I’m sure you’ve heard the news – one billion customers served! Just like that popular fast food franchise company that has a clown as its number one salesman.

That’s it folks! YouTube recently exceeded one billion video views in a day. Is this a big deal? This is a big deal! On the same day, CSI, the most popular show on television at the moment only pulled in 15 million viewers.

Think about it. There are almost 7 billion people on earth. An estimated 2 billion of them have Internet access. That means half the Internet population of the world are YouTube viewers. If that’s not a big deal, that I don’t know what is! (Okay! Some might argue the recent spat in the MCA is a bigger deal. I grant that to you. I guess I’m just a techie geek!)

Someone finally bought into my idea of creating a Web video series! I've been trying to launch one off in Malaysia for years but no one has been bold enough (or foolish enough?) to back me up! I finally found a sucker... errr... no... I mean a TOTALLY GREAT AND AWESOME company... that is open and dynamic enough to try it out! It's... drum roll please... P1 W1MAX!!!!! Hey... they did recently win the APICTA 2009 Award for Best Start-Up of the Year!

So I present to you the first episode of the P1 Net Show (you can view it here: http://bit.ly/2A3BER or here: http://bit.ly/15qZ9f)! It's going to be a weekly series on the Web that shows the goings-on of P1 the company. It will also have a gigantic Fat Bidin/Zan Azlee influence to it. And I don't know if that is a turn-on or a turn-off for you guys! But I enjoy it for sure! Muahahaha!

You can view/bookmark/subscribe/tattoo onto your thigh or forearm the P1 Net Show YouTube page here: http://www.youtube.com/p1netshow

Now go tell all your friends!

Alright people! Looks like my film I'M MUSLIM TOO! HEADING TO THE BORDER won't be seeing the light of day on Malaysian television thanks to the ban! But no worries! The kind folks at KOMAS (http://www.komas.org) have decided to bring it on their 2009 Freedom Film Festival tour around Malaysia.
