This “Wayang and Sembang” (Show and Talk) project was a special initiative conceptualized in agreement with the European Union to bridge the information gap between the less privileged sectors of society during this time of the pandemic and to discuss which effects the pandemic has on these groups. It was a series of 5 sets of online film screenings and forums on Facebook which was carried out in May and June. All the films featured online were produced by FFN and released online a week before the accompanying forum. The moderations of the forums were executed by representatives of the FFN and speakers were experts on the issue and/or representatives from the community. Top
