Hero Borneo, directed by Singaporean filmmaker Lee R., is a stirring Malaysian drama that bridges personal ambition and generational expectation with subtlety and heart. Set in the coastal villages of Sabah, the film tells a familiar story—but one not often seen through this cultural lens: a young man's pursuit of his dreams in conflict with a father's wish to preserve tradition. The story follows Aman, a young boy who dreams not of casting nets or mending boats, but of composing music and auditioning for RTM in Kuala Lumpur.
