1957: Hati Malaya (English: 1957: The Heart of Malaya) is a 2007 Malaysian Malay-language historical political drama film directed by Shuhaimi Baba starring Maya Karin, Rusdi Ramli, Sharifah Amani and Adlin Aman Ramlie. It was released on 25 October 2007.[1][2]
Synopsis[edit]
Four young Malaysians, Hali, Salmi, Ani and Rafiq have been assigned to do a picture book of "1957". While two of them grudgingly carry out the request made by the publisher, Hali takes on the role enthusiastically. Along the way, they find themselves immersed in the characters, emotional moments, identifying with and finding meaning in the struggle of "1957". They weave the story of independence by transporting themselves back to the past. Ordinary Malaysians who fell in love, and found their love for the country override their personal emotions. The present characters find new meaning to "Merdeka".
