Final stop: Kedah. ❤️
Back to where the spirit of #MotherBhumi# began — meeting my ritual master, the father of director Chong Keat Aun, who guided me through the authentic chants and rituals behind the film. ✨
《地⺟ MOTHER BHUMI》IN MALAYSIAN CINEMAS 14 MAY 2026
Inspired by the folk legends of a witch in the paddy fields of Kedah. In the 1990s, a Siamese village is gripped by land disputes and strange phenomena. A farmer by day, she transforms into a ritual healer by night, healing her community, resisting dark forces while confronting the deep-rooted tensions of borders, ethnicity, power, and patriarchy.
