The film by director Rony Mepet tries to provide understanding to the Indonesian people regarding Jokowi's struggle to become Governor of DKI Jakarta to become President of Indonesia.
Previously, Jokowi's existence in the world of brilliant politics. He has never lost in political contestation. This success is because Jokowi is often seen as a populist figure. The narrative is then seen as having great value.
Jokowi's footsteps in a brilliant political world. He was able to serve as Mayor of Surakarta from the 2005-2015 era. His leadership as Mayor was seen as successful. Jokowi is considered a simple public official figure.
Jokowi is able to show his capacity as a leader who stands above all groups. Jokowi also often goes directly to find out the problems faced by his citizens. The move is familiarly called blusukan.
Jokowi's popularity also rose. This condition is like a bigger Jokowi political leap. He then participated in the 2012 DKI Jakarta gubernatorial election. Jokowi was paired with Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok). The second duet was able to win the hearts of Jakarta residents.
The results are brilliant. Jokowi-Ahok became the new Governor and Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta. Jokowi's actions as the leader of Jakarta were no less successful. Jokowi is like going in and out of the village to shop for problems related to Jakarta residents.
This condition makes the camera spotlight constantly directed at Jokowi. The blusukan style and simplicity are in fact anesthetizing the whole of Indonesia. Jokowi is also starting to be predicted to be the future leader of Indonesia.
Long story short, the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) brought Jokowi as a presidential candidate in the 2014 presidential election. Jokowi was paired with Jusuf Kalla (JK). The second duet is considered the right combination. Support for Jokowi also arrived, from musicians to filmmakers.

Problems arise. The film was not well received as Jokowi's administration insisted on increasing fuel prices. As a result, only one day it aired, the next day, November 21, 2014, the film was withdrawn from theaters.
"The broadcast has been delayed. The increase in fuel prices has resulted in a hot political situation. So we'll wait. If the atmosphere is safe, it's just playing again.

Because there are many role models in it," said the producer of Jokowi's film is Kita, KK Dheeraj as quoted on page covering 6.com, November 21, 2014.
