Director Statement

This film highlights the Online Gender-Based Violence (OGBV) cases in Indonesia during the pandemic, which have increased more than 400% compared to the previous year. Some cases went viral, and it caught my attention as a filmmaker, as a citizen, and especially as a woman.

There is still a lack of education about what OGBV is; we are in the early stage of creating conversations about it and figuring out how to handle this situation, especially since we don't have legal regulation from the government, even worse the "victim-blaming" culture is still dominating the society which makes this situation even hander.

This film involved some part of my personal story and many careful observations of the victims and my surroundings. Our humble attempt is to describe this problematic situation in a creative yet meaningful way and raise awareness to support the victims. Together we end the OGBV and any violence in any space.
