Alice Lives Here a.k.a. Clean Shit

Alice Lives Here, a Reel Power Production directed by Ong Ju Lin. The film came out tops in the amateur category and won the Justin Louise Award at the Freedom Film Festival held in August 2005. The documentary centers around the response of residents in Broga, when they found out that a waste incinerator was to be built near their village.

This is a story of how a small farming village in Malaysia struggled against the powers of big government and corporation. The centre of this intense battle is located in a small town that few Malaysians have heard of -- Broga. The story of how the gritty citizens of Broga fought the relocation of the largest incinerator Asia is told through the eyes of Alice Lee, a village girl who has lived in Broga all her life.

Despite a media blackout, and police scare tactics, the community organised, voted for PAS, and hired their own lawyers to bring the fight to court, culminating in an interim stop work order to halt the construction of potentially the largest 'gasification fusion furnace' incinerator in Asia. However, the stop work order has expired in June 30th and work has been revived.

The documentary traces the political awakening of Alice, a clerk working a nine-to-five job in a furniture factory who denied ever being interested in politics. The change experienced by Alice, reflects the awakening of political consciousness of the people of Broga.
