Pekak (Malay: 'Deaf') is a 2016 Malaysian drama film directed by Mohd Khairul Azri Mohd Noor starring Zaharil Adzim, Sharifah Amani, Iedil Putra and Joe Flizzow. The film tells the story about Uda, a deaf drug dealer who does his life of crime so he can afford his cochlear implants. His life however changes when he meets Dara, a rebellious schoolgirls who yearns to be free from her father's watching eyes. This sparks a relationship always on the brink of edge facing a world riddled with violence, sex and drugs.
The film premiered in the Cannes Film Festival's Marché du Film on 17 May 2016.[1] It was later released to Malaysian cinemas nationwide on 1 September of the same year. It was however banned in Brunei due to scenes that the country's censors claim could "give bad influence" on the audience.[2]
