Brunei Film - Yasmine (2014)

Our protagonist wants to learn silat and faces your standard obstacles including a a strong father/daughter interaction.  The film is professionally done and has a nice score and good, but not fantastic, local scenery in addition to competent directing and acting.  Also, it's pretty much the only movie that Brunei has ever made so if you grade on a curve then making a decent fun Karate Kid clone and telling a cute story of a young lady finding herself and figuring out what's important is a pretty good accomplishment.
