What happens

《争执》 (又译作《斗争我和你》,马来文:Gadoh) 是马来西亚人权组织“社会传播中心”( Pusat Komunikasi Masyarakat,简称KOMAS)制作于 2009年的电影。内容讲述一群不同种族的中学生在校内殴斗,一位女教师为了挽救校誉,特地邀请一位戏剧导师阿兹曼到校,通过戏剧教育改变学生们的价值观。 据电影的编导兼戏中的主要演员南农(Namron)透露,激发他创作这部电影的原因是他在成长阶段曾亲身感受到在马来西亚校园内的种族不和谐气氛,可是在社会上、在正规教育系统中却缺乏平台让来自不同族裔、不同宗教背景的社群展开公开和自由的讨论。于是他与纪录片导演布兰达·丹克(Brenda Danker)便尝试通过电影艺术去触碰禁忌,以揭示真实存在于日常生活中的各种偏见。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
