The title refers to the durian, a fruit of Southeast Asia with a bad smell but a good taste. One day in 1987, the Malaysian capital city of Kuala Lumpur was under attack by a crazed armed soldier.

The Big Durian was shown at the Sundance Film Festival as part of the World Documentaries program. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi
