THE SHORT FILM MONKEY BUSINESS, A CO-PRODUCTION WITH PRODUCER INDRA BAARS. THE FILM IS DIRECTED BY EVERON JACKSON HOOI (ACCTOR IN GTST AND BULADÓ) AND BASED ON AN EVENT FROM THE YOUTH OF CO-PRODUCER INDRA BAARS.
Monkey Business tells the story of Nila (8 years old), the only black girl in the class. When her best friend Rein (8 years) suggests to the teacher that Nila should play the role of a monkey in the school musical, the teacher panics and the adults start a discussion about racism, a discussion that the children do not understand. They just wonder, "Why can't Nila play a monkey?"
