About 5:13
In 2007, after the release of his debut feature S'kali in
Malaysia, writer/director Arivind Abraham was contacted by a
documentary filmmaker in London named John Kotselis. Kotselis
had amassed evidence of a cover-up by the Malaysian government
about the real reason behind a major nationwide blackout in
1996, and together with writer Keith Leong Abraham crafted a
fictional story based on Kotselis' findings.
Both a dramatic psychological thriller and a critical comment on
the oppresive state of politics, race and religion in Malaysia,
5:13 is the film that the Malaysian authorities do not want
Malaysians to see.
