Featured review
Inspiring story from Indonesia, and one of the better films from this country...
I was quite lucky to attend the premiere of "Cahaya dari Timur: Beta Maluku", in Jakarta, and even meet the director in person.
It is a magnificent and inspiring story based on a real events which happened in the east of Indonesia - the place unknown to most of the foreign visitors to this country. It's a story of humble and ordinary people, divided because of the ethnic problems. It's a story of individuals who could change the world, just if they put a little bit of effort, energy and faith... and just behave like human beings to each other. Although, the movie is a little bit too long, as the director put a lot of time into character development, it's a very rewarding experience.
I sincerely hope that this movie will receive wider distribution around the world, as it really deserves. Unfortunately, at this moment, the film is not available in other countries... but I hope that in the near future, after the movie becomes available, I will be able to share my experience with other cinema lovers around the world.
Wish that Indonesia makes more films like this...
