JAKARTA - Just counting the day Indonesia will again commemorate Heroes' Day which falls every November 10.

There are many ways that can be done to be able to remember the services of our heroes, one of which is by watching films about the journey of their life.

The film Lafran can be a recommendation for films that can be watched to commemorate Heroes' Day.

Lafran's film tells the story of the struggle at the beginning of independence. It was marked by the strengthening of debate about Islam and nationalism. For Lafran Pane, students are non-partisan and independent groups that can be a movement in fighting for the spirit of Indonesian nationalism.

Lafran's journey from South Tapanuli to Jakarta to Yogyakarta colored the change in Lafran's perspective in fighting. The idealism is getting stronger, Lafran Pane has a big vision in fighting for Indonesia.

Sebelumnya, film Lafran telah dirilis di bioskop pada Juni 2024 lalu, merupakan karya dari rumah produksi Reborn Intipaves dan Radepa Studio. Vice President Digital Lifestyle Telkomsel, Lesley Simpson mengatakan, Tayangnya film Lafran sekaligus melanjutkan komitmen berlanjutkan Telkomsel dalam menghadirkan tayangan dan hiburan berkualitas yang mudah diakses oleh masyarakat," ujar Lesley Simpson.

"On the other hand, commemorating Heroes' Day, the theme of heroism in national films must be supported to provide continuous motivation and enthusiasm for Indonesian nationalism. Telkomsel hopes that the Lafran film will be an inspiration to have an impact not only on itself," he continued.

Mathias Muchus, who plays Sutan Pangurabaan, Lafran Pane's father, is touched by the broadcast of this Lafran film which is expected to attract many viewers in the future.

"Because it was quite moved that in the end it could be witnessed by many people, God willing. That is, hopefully. Pay our Jiriayah at that time. Make up fake mustaches, fake tackles, make ups, everything," said Mathias Muchus in the Sudirman area, Central Jakarta, Tuesday, November 5.

"Yes, his life is concerned like that. But I hope that this film will produce seeds later. It's no longer Lafran Pane, but Dolly. But whoever becomes Lafran for the future. That's actually what we planted, right," he continued.

This film is a form of appreciation for the spirit of heroism and the relevant nationalism of all time," said Ahmad Doli Kurnia.
