Beyond Exceptional
Until now, not many Indonesian commercial films have dared to highlight the nation's dark history.
However, through the Kretek Girl series, the history of political issues is told directly as a background to the time.
Kretek Girl is not just a romantic story about women's struggle against women's equality at that time, but more than that, this series gives us a glimpse of society's struggle in the political chaos of the past.
A history that is still taboo to tell, a series of dark events that haunt many families to their descendants today.
The story of Dasiyah and her family is just one example of what hundreds of families felt at that time, but Dasiyah's story represents what they felt.
