Wiki.
Soegija is an epic history drama of Indonesia, directed by the senior director of Indonesia Garin Nugroho, about national hero Albertus Soegijapranata. The film, starring actors with a diversity of cultural backgrounds, is launched in Indonesia on 7 June 2012. With a budget of around Rp 12 billion ($1,2 million), the film became the most expensive movie directed by Garin Nugroho so far.
The film was produced with the format that takes the story from the diary of the National Heroes character Mgr. Soegijapranata by taking the background Indonesian National Revolution and the establishment of the United States of Indonesia during the period 1940β1949. The film was directed by veteran director Garin Nugroho and shot within the regional background of Yogyakarta and Semarang. Soegija is not a regular war movie with much combat, but describes the humanity behind the war. It shows how different people from Indonesia, Japan and the Netherlands, civil and military, were dealing with everyday life. Why those people made the choices they made, because of the different backgrounds they all came from.
