Country: Thailand
Directed by Surapong Pinitka
This 16 minutes film ,having as title just an exclamation mark, is probably the first sort of experimental film in the history of Thai cinema, using editing, music and poetry in a way that never were used before. But is not only the form that is innovative and radical: the film is a declaration against poverty in the country , is standing for the rights of children to healthy food, housing, education and careless childhood. The film joined its voice with others that were asking social justice and equality in an era that was very intense politically. Surapong Pinitka , who nowadays is making stupid movies that are supporting the 'system' , back then doesn't hesitate to depict naked children, extreme poverty in slums next to the railways, people who collect things and food from mountains of trash
