| Synopsis : | Wangi Jadi Saksi is the story of Hang Jebat's betrayal and murder, as told through the eyes of his young widow Dang Wangi.
The politically charged thriller is set in 15th-century Melaka during the reign of Sultan Mansur Shah. Using flashbacks and flash-forwards, Jebat's confrontation with his comrades and nemesis are revealed through a provocative new interpretation of this historical and legendary event. The four Great Lords who represent the hierarchy of nobility in the Melaka Sultanate are the Bendahara, Penghulu Bendahari, Temenggung and Seri Bija Diraja. However, when the post of Laksamana is instituted, the position of Seri Bija Diraja begins to decline as the status of the new warrior rises to be on par with it. Hang Tuah becomes the first and most famous Laksamana who serves until the reign of Sultan Mahmud Shah. Main literary sources for Tuah like are "Sejarah Melayu" and "Hikayat Hang Tuah" depict his loyalty to the Sultan and to Melaka when he is summoned to kill his closest friend Hang Jebat. Wangi Jadi Saksi is one version of that event where, by trying to understand the meaning of Hang Jebat and the sensibility of Malay written and spoken texts, it is possible to conjure what may have taken place behind the closed doors of the palace during the confrontation between Jebat and Tuah. Starring Khir Rahman, Vanidah Imran, Sobri Anuar, Mohammad Shoffi Jikan (who plays Hang Jebat on alternate performances), Khalid Salleh, Dato' Rahim Razali and Sabri Yunus. Directed by award-winning writer and director of Perempuan, Isteri Dan Jalang, Jogho and Kaki Bakar, U-Wei bin HajiSaari and produced by the Golden Globe-winning producers of Osama, Julia Fraser, of leBrocquy Fraser.
