INVISIBLE PEOPLE is an animated documentary series showcasing Malaysia's stateless and refugee communities, chronicling their struggles and fights for systemic change. It explores individual stories beyond monolithic news headlines, uncovering diverse experiences behind often simplified perspectives.
Mission Statement
Malaysia’s own nationality law is manufacturing statelessness. This has left many without citizenship. Despite hosting a large population of refugees, Malaysia is also not party to the United Nation’s 1951 Refugee Convention, leading to a lack of protection and asylum system for refugees. It's time they're heard.
