**WHAT A DOCUMENTARY FILM THIS IS** It’s truly impressive that this film was made with the limited tools available to high school students in Surabaya, a city in Indonesia. The film is both heart-wrenching and inspiring, telling the story of Madurese migrants—an experience deeply connected to the people of Surabaya. The cinematography and narrative flow are remarkably pleasing to the eye, and while the issue presented may seem small, it is often those overlooked stories that carry the most weight. The work of the director and sound engineer is outstanding. Honestly, I deeply admire such a well-made short film. Director Yoga Mahendra might just become one of the finest filmmakers in the future.
