Al-Fatehah Memali portrays the journey of singer-songwriter, Black and Meor, trying to comprehend a massacre that happened in 1985 in Kg. Memali, Kedah. Their journey brings them to the village where they meet the survivors and witness of the tragedy to uncover a forgotten story of injustice for most Malaysia, but one forever etched in the hearts of those Memali.

Al-Fatihah kepada mangsa Memali yang syahid dalam menegakkan agama Allah s.w.t. Walaupun saya dilahirkan selepas peristiwa Memali berlaku, tetapi Alhamdulillah, saya terdedah tentang peristiwa Memali melalui Internet. Maka dengan itu, perlulah kita mengalahkan pemimpin yang zalim terhadap rakyat. Suara rakyat, suara keramat.
