这是一个关于12名年轻人的故事。他们出生在一个年轻的国家——马来西亚，并将在如今的家园——泰国南部，讲述属于自己的故事。 若你今日在街头询问马来西亚人有关马来亚共产党的问题，许多人或许会给出与历史教科书和考试答案一致的回应。公众大多了解该党早年间抗击日本占领的事迹，以及在1948年至1960年马来亚紧急状态期间的游击活动。 然而，另一些年轻人的经历却鲜为人知。在20世纪60年代末至70年代中期，新经济政策、五一三种族暴乱，以及马来亚共产党的斗争（1968年至1989年）交织的历史背景下，他们选择离开安逸的生活，投身于共产主义运动。 时至今日，这些幸存者已在泰国南部的“友谊村”安家。他们将亲口讲述那段马来西亚历史中被遗忘的篇章。
