JAKARTA - Film Keeping Promise is one of the means to invite people to exercise their voting rights in the regional head elections (Pilkada) on 27 November. The film produced by the General Election Commission (KPU) in collaboration with Asta Jaya Centra Cinema, Padi Padi Creative, and Garin Workshop is directed by Garin Nugroho.

"Film media, encouraging media, we use it as a means of information so that all parties will be happy to then succeed in the election and come to the TPS in the November 27, 2024 Pilkada," said Chairman of the KPU Commission for the period 2022 2027 Mochammad Afifuddin in his official statement, quoted Monday, August 12.

This regional head election-themed film stars Ibnu Jamil, Cut Mini, Shenina Cinnamon, Bima Zeno, Kevin Abani, Faradina Mufti, Givina Lukita, Siti Fauziah, and Trio Timus: Theresia WD, Asriuni Pradipta, and Irene Vista.

The film Keeps Promise tells the story of Mrs. Pertiwi's family (Cut Mini) with her three children. Politics enters this family when her eldest son, Adam (Bima Zeno) rises as village head. The election that Adam participated in was full of competition and complexity of political behavior without ethics.

This situation brings mixed reactions from Adam's wife, Tari (Faradina Mufti), and his younger siblings, Isham (Kevin Abani) and Sekar (Shenina Cinnamon). The story continues not only about political dramas, but also into comedy dramas and romance dramas.

Ibu Pertiwi's love affair with Pak Promise (Ibnu Jamil) which has not yet reached its end, is also complicated by the euphoria of villagers and political brokers as well as dynastic political issues that spread to villages with social media mixed with village gossip.

"The film about Mr. Promise and Mrs. Pertiwi is very attached to many parties. We believe this is one way for the KPU to socialize elections, socialize the Pilkada, and at the same time this is our way of doing voter education," said Afifuddin.

Film director Justify Garin Nugroho's promise to explain, this film shows how leadership is tested from the ability to realize promises, both promises stated in the constitution and on personal vision for the welfare of citizens.

"This film is needed for citizen education when politics loses its muruah in guiding the community so that the political process gives birth to a healthy, critical, and productive civil society," Garin said.

Films Keep Promises to be limited in Indonesian cinemas, as well as several national television stations and OTT. In addition, mobile screenings will also be carried out in public spaces, alternative screening rooms, and landscape screens in various regions in the country.
