SISTER OF SANDAKAN (2021) (24 min) / Director : Clare Chao
THIS SHORT DOCUMENTARY covers the life of Sister Margaret Yong, the last active Anglican nun in Malaysia and Singapore. Her story is told in her own words, and interviews with her past students and parish friends in Sandakan and Kota Kinabalu. Christian nuns, although common in Roman Catholicism, hardly exist in Protestant denominations. Even so, the Anglican nun is a disappearing vocation in this part of the world. As such, this film is a valuable archive that explores the changes and transitions confronting the modern church today.
