PETALING JAYA: Rain Town, the country’s first Chinese language film directed by a Malay woman, is film director Tunku Mona Riza’s homage to Malaysia’s rich cultural tapestry and her call to fellow Malaysians to embrace diversity.

Through the Cantonese film, Tunku Mona hopes audiences will realise the importance of cultural crossovers and the possibility of narrating each other’s stories from different frames of reference as long as this is backed by respect and proper research.
