Human rights documentary film festival, FreedomFilmFest (FFF) is back with more than 30 films in its line-up. Comprising both international and local fare, the festival will be held at PJ Live Arts, Jaya One in Petaling Jaya, from Sept 21-28.

This year, the fest looks at Malaysia as a middle-income country. And with the cost of living constantly rising, why do wages remain low or stagnant for so many Malaysians?
