After completing critically acclaimed projects such as last year’s feature film Doh, 2021’s Dukun Diva and the hit series One Cent Thief, director Ariff Zulkarnain has embarked on a passion project rooted in his hometown of Terengganu.

Last year, he returned home to shoot Baga, a film he wrote that examines two pressing issues in Terengganu – the longstanding drug crisis and the decline of traditional livelihoods, such as bot penambang (small ferry boat that connects riverside villages).
