To commemorate 50 years since ASEAN’s foundation, this video by Aekarak Sethi takes the viewer on a brief journey that reflects the struggles, scars and echoes of people in this hotspot of the world. Without doubt, ASEAN is ambitious! However, what is the ASEAN Ambition? Who determines this? What does this mean for the youth of ASEAN?


Over the past century, people have spoken in awe of “the American Dream”. However, in this video the focus shifts to the ASEAN dream and the ASEAN ambition that has been long dreamt of since the time of our founding fathers. ASEAN’s future is to be determined by choice, not by chance.

In alignment with ASEAN’s motto “One Vision, One Identity, One Community”, Aekarak (Aek) believes that the inclusive and glorious fate of ASEAN is in recognizing kinship with every hoper and dreamer. Through faces of people and phases of life and development, Aek’s video explores diversity, conflict, and opportunity, embracing expansive unsweetened realities that are yet glistened with hope. His message is clear: Our strength lies in our identities. Uniting our strengths in harmony, together we can overcome our challenges and achieve the ASEAN Ambition.
