The true story of the Malaysian women’s national basketball team that inspired Faisal Ishak’s film ‘Padu’
Out in cinemas on June 6, ‘Padu’ is based on true events surrounding the outstanding Malaysian women’s basketball team and their incredible performance at the 2015 SEA Games
Whether you’re a sports fan or not, sports movies have always had universal appeal and the unique ability to teach important life lessons such as endurance, teamwork, resilience and losing gracefully.
Combine this with a growing penchant by Malaysian filmmakers today to share the untold stories of incredible Malaysian women, and you will get Padu, an action-packed, emotional film based on true events experienced by the Malaysian women’s national basketball team from 2013 to 2015.
Since 1977, the women’s basketball team has won 13 gold medals from 20 SEA Games tournaments, traditionally ranking among the top teams in Southeast Asia.
