JAKARTA - The film Angel: We All Have Dreams that will be released on May 4. The sequel to the film My Idot Brother made the motivator Merry Riana hope that the audience can be moved to do good to people with disabilities.

"Hopefully they (the audience) can be moved and realize that to do good doesn't need very big things," said Merry when met after a press conference in Jakarta, Saturday night.

"With us caring, we give smiles or volunteer, it has done good. Sometimes doing good doesn't need money or big things. By helping people to support their dreams or maybe just being friends, I think it has played a role in doing good," he added.

According to Merry, this film does not only tell stories about young people who support each other's dreams from their friends. However, the film 'Angel: We All Have Dreams' also tells stories about parents who have their own hopes for their children.

Therefore, Merry also admitted that he also learned from the stories shown in this film. As a mother, she said that this film is also a reminder so that parents can try to communicate in two directions with their children.

I can understand the wishes of her mother (Andro's mother character in the film) who really wants to give the best for her child. Because it's as a single parent, let alone have a special need child. Meanwhile, she has great hopes for her only child. So I can really understand," said Merry as quoted by ANTARA.

"And it can remind me however, even though we want it, we want the best for children but children must know. We love our children, but they must know and be aware that they are loved. Therefore, it is important to communicate in two directions," he added.

With this film, Merry hopes that parents who watch can also learn. Although every parent wants the best future for their child, they also need to understand the point of view of their child before deciding unilaterally.

"I'm sure for sure all parents whatever their actions are, the intentions are good. For the good of the child. It's just that often, they just think from his point of view. Don't communicate or don't understand and understand," said Merry.

In my opinion, reduce the assumption and increase communication. What I remind myself, the child has never felt like being a parent. If we have experienced being a child. So actually we are parents who should be able to try to actively ask questions, give opportunities, or whatever it is," he concluded.
