JAKARTA - Prilly Latuconsina is the main player and producer in the film Kukira Kau Home. This film tells the story of the life of bipolar sufferers among teenagers. Directed by Umay Sahab, Prilly believes this film is safe for bipolar sufferers to watch.
Before being shown to the media, Prilly admitted that she had asked the bipolar person to watch it first. "We are working with psychologists and Bipolar Care Indonesia. So from writing the script we are always accompanied, not just discussing bipolar," said Prilly when met at Plaza Senayan, Monday, February 31.
This film raises the issue of mental health through the character Niskala (Prilly Latuconsina) who suffers from bipolar. Niskala has to take medicine and his activities are limited by his family. However, since meeting Pram, his life has changed. There are fears this film could trigger survivors into bad memories.
"Many people ask if watching it continues to trigger (triggered) how, they are afraid of relapse. So we finally dared to take this story, because from the start we had collaborated with Bipolar Care Indonesia. Even when we edited it raw, we discussed it with them, with other people. -related people too," said Prilly Latuconsina.
Prilly tells the results of a special preview by a bipolar survivor. "This bipolar survivor has been crying since the first five minutes of watching it, that also worries me. But apparently they said, 'Yes, in some scenes it triggers but it won't cause anything,'" said Prilly Latuconsina.
Apparently, the response was not what Prilly Latuconsina had feared. Therefore, he believes this film is safe to watch bipolar observers.
"They actually feel that the awareness that we have built in this film is important. When they feel bipolar is on hold, they are considered not capable of going to college and doing other things, even though they are not. Bipolar people are capable, the only difference is that they experience emotional changes," said Prilly Latuconsina. .
