Skater Girl – Sisterhood, Rebelliousness, Social Castes, and Skateboarding
This little Netflix film was very inspirational. It passes the Bechdel test, and features a different worldview with rural Indian representation.
Kerasnya Takdir
Intan Najiha, more affectionately known as Jiha (Amyra Rosli), is raised modestly while Syed Munir (Redza Rosli) is pampered with wealth. After losing her parents, Jiha moves to Kuala Lumpur to be independent and starts a small candle business called 'Jiha's Scent' at a shopping mall. In contrast, Munir's life has been filled with luxury from birth and he is expected to continue his family's legacy by his mother Syarifah Aminah (Kartina Aziz). His mother wants to manage everything about Munir, including arranging his marriage to his fiancée, Emilia (Mia Nasir). When an incident brings Munir and Jiha together and romantic feelings begin to develop, Munir chooses to make Jiha his wife despite their marriage not being blessed by his family. However, married life is not as expected. Munir and Jiha's life becomes complicated after Munir is involved in an accident. Jiha is also burdened with accusations that have made her mental state unstable after losing Munir and their child.
