Denias Senandung di Atas Awan
"Denias Senandung di Atas Awan" is one of good movies produced by Indonesian producers. It is produced by Alenia Pictures. The story-based one a true story-is about one boy named Denias living in Papua, one quite big island in Indonesia, located in the eastern part of the archipelago. The island has one so-called biggest gold mining company in the world, the Freeport. However, it doesn’t mean that the native people there live wealthily. Denias used to live in one poor village located in inland and the villagers still practice the ritual ceremonies from their ancestors.
There are five interesting things that I noted when watching it.
MOURNING RITUAL CEREMONY
DISCRIMINATIVE TREATMENT TOWARD OTHER PEOPLE
PAPUA IS ONE OF THE RICHEST ISLAND IN INDONESIA, BUT THE MOST OF THE NATIVE PEOPLE LIVE POORLY.
STUDYING IN FORMAL SCHOOL.
"KOTEKA", TRADITIONAL CLOTHES IN PAPUA.
"Denias Senandung di Atas Awan" is indeed worth watching with so many moral lessons behind. The casts are: Albert Fakdawer as Denias, Ari Sihasale as Maleo, Michael Jakarimilena as Samuel, Marcella Zalianty as Sam Koibur, one teacher who helps Denias accepted in the school in the town nearby.
