Watching: SADAJIWA

Overview

This film tells the fantastical journey of a teenage boy who initially looked down on Indonesian culture simply because he was unfamiliar with it, and who even frequently posted negative comments on social media about certain ethnic groups. One day he entered the world of his very own dreams, and within that world he travelled around Indonesia learning about several new cultures that he had previously dismissed as ‘outdated’. Upon waking from his dream, he decided to take on the role of safeguarding and preserving these cultures by joining his nearest cultural centre.
