GIE: A Step Towards a More Democratic Indonesia?

Gie is the first Indonesian movie that touches one of the most controversial and complex conflict in Indonesia that happened in 1965. During the 32 years of Soeharto-era (1966-1998), the Indonesian public was indoctrinated with propaganda that favored Soeharto and his supporters regarding the incident. Eight years ago, this movie will not pass the Soeharto’s censorship. Now, in the post Soeharto-era, will Gie be a step towards a more democratic Indonesia?

Interview with the producer of Gie, Mira Lesmana.
