Behind the Scenes: Filming the Roti Man

How was the documentary about Malaysia’s roti men filmed?

In this behind-the-scenes video, you will see some insights of the DocuSphere crew during the production of Roti Men of Malaysia: A Tradition in Young Hands. From early morning setups to filming inside Haja’s small rented room, this video shows how we captured the story of a disappearing street trade.

Haja is one of the youngest “roti men” in Petaling Jaya — motorbike vendors who sell bread and snacks in Malaysian neighbourhoods every day.
