Soekarno (2013)

In the heart of Java Island, 1942, a young visionary named Soekarno is seized by the Nederlands(ch)-Indië Government, his burning ambition to liberate Indonesia from the clutches of colonial rule threatening to upend the status quo. Consigned to the cold walls of Bandung's Banceuy Prison, Soekarno refuses to surrender to desolation. Instead, he fuels his spirit of resistance, giving voice to his fervent plea for independence in his stirring defence oration, "Indonesi Accuse!" at the Bandung Laandraad Courthouse. "Soekarno" is a riveting cinematic journey into the life of a man who would become the Republic of Indonesia's inaugural president. From the innocence of his childhood to the audacious proclamation of Indonesian freedom alongside M. Hatta in 1945, the film traces Soekarno's transformative path. His story is a testament to the indomitable spirit of humanity, a tribute to the power of a dream, and a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made in the pursuit of freedom. Prepare to step into history and witness the birth of a nation through the eyes of its undaunted architect, Soekarno.

Soekarno is a drama movie featuring Ario Bayu and directed by Hanung Bramantyo.

Soekarno is currently streaming on Netflix.
