JAKARTA - The film Copying Cahaya officially airs on the Netflix streaming service on Thursday, January 13. The film is still being released in the midst of a sexual harassment controversy that was allegedly perpetrated by one of the crew.
Looking at the Netflix site, Light Copy does not go into the Recently Added section. Customers who want to search for the film should look into the search field section.
In addition, this film has not been promoted by Netflix Indonesia through social media. Moreover, Pengalin Cahaya won the award for Best Feature Film at the 2021 Indonesian Film Festival (FFI).
It is known that the internet was shocked by the statement by Kaninga Pictures and Rekata Studio as the production house of Cahaya Cahaya. They expressed support for victims of sexual harassment and removed the crew's name from all film publications.
"We found that a name from the copy of Cahaya film team was recorded as the reported person for his alleged past actions," said Rekata Studio and Kaninga Pictures.
"As an ethical responsibility for our commitment and to respect the reporting and the process that will follow it, we have decided to remove the name of the reported person from the film credits of Copy Light and the film's publication materials," he continued.
They claim that the incident information was obtained from one of the communities. It is not yet known whether the case will progress to legal proceedings.
The Light Copyer tells of Sur (Shenina Cinnamon) who is looking for answers after her drunken selfie is spread. Sur asks for help from Amin (Chicco Kurniawan), an employee of a photocopy shop near the campus.
Pengalin Cahaya is Wregas Bhanuteja's debut film and Netflix Indonesia's first original film in 2022.
