Time To Get Critical About Representation in “Shameless”
A decade since it aired, Shameless (U.S.) has always stuck to its guns (and baseball bats) about character diversity.

The story follows Dara, a rough girl who constantly causes problems for her mother, being sent to the village to be trained to become a well-mannered girl by her aunt Kak Ros, who is famous in the town as a former Kebaya Queen champion. Hariz is a music enthusiast with a high ego. Through their time working together, Hariz and Dara secretly develop feelings for each other. However, Atirah, a mysterious girl who was once involved with Hariz, suddenly arrives and comes between them. Tired of Dara's (Riena Diana) behavior as a rough skateboard player who frequently causes trouble, her mother has decided to send Dara back to the village and asks for help from Kak Ros (Rozita Che Wan) to teach and soften her daughter's behavior. At the same time, Dara, who had a quarrel with Hariz (Syafiq Kyle) in Kuala Lumpur, meets him again in their village in Kuala Selangor because she works with Hariz's father at a grocery store.

The power of a talented female director like Patty Jenkins and an overall diverse cast is what makes this film worth watching for me.
We are incredibly blessed that this movie is available for us to see, and we should take advantage of the opportunity we’ve been given.
