More than twelve thousand political prisoners of the New Order were exiled to the island Buru. Some of them died because they were tortured cruelly. The blood and sweat of political prisoners changed this barren island full of wild swamps: it became a main supplier of rice in Maluku. I have always been interested in what happened in this country. Unfortunately, the history of this country is made up of many dark pages. Because I am interested, I also feel committed to be involved and do the things that I can do and that are possible. One responsibility that flows from that commitment, is working on a documentary about Buru. We still believe that this country can be better. One way in which we can do that is by not lying about a dark past. Rahung Nasution #1965setiaphari #living1965
