Film 'LAFRAN', A Story of Heroes and Nationalism to Commemorate Heroes' Day on November 10

Kapanlagi.com - In commemoration of Heroes' Day, which falls on November 10, the Indonesian people can now remember the services of the heroes in an inspiring way, namely by watching the film LAFRAN. This film tells the life struggle of Lafran Pane, an important figure in Indonesia's independence journey who can serve as a role model for the younger generation.

The film presents the backdrop of the early independence era, when the debate between Islamism and nationalism intensified among the people. For Lafran Pane, students should be an independent non-partisan group that plays an important role in advocating for the values of nationalism.

Lafran's journey from South Tapanuli to Jakarta and then to Yogyakarta reflects the change in his perspective in fighting for Indonesia. From the beginning, Lafran developed a strong idealism and great aspirations in shaping a robust vision of Indonesian identity.
