Director Statement

My aim in making this documentary is to spread the village's clean culture. This culture should be preserved so that it does not become extinct, because it is an important part of the cultural heritage in Gunungkidul. Apart from that, this documentary also functions as an educational effort for the younger generation, so that they know and appreciate the clean village traditions that have been passed down by our ancestors.
