Pekak (Malay: 'Deaf') is a 2015 Malaysian drama film directed by Mohd Khairul Azri Mohd Noor and starring Zaharil Adzim, Sharifah Amani, Iedil Putra and Joe Flizzow. The film tells the story of Uda, a deaf drug dealer who lives a life of crime so he can afford his cochlear implants. His life, however, changes when he meets Dara, a rebellious schoolgirl who yearns to be free from her father's watching eyes. This sparks a relationship always on the brink in a world riddled with violence, sex and drugs.

The film was sold at the Cannes Film Festival's Marché du Film on 17 May 2016.^[1] It was later released to Malaysian cinemas nationwide on 1 September of the same year. It was however banned in Brunei due to scenes that the country's censors claim could "give bad influence" on the audience.^[2]
