Revealing the Stories Behind Myths and Stigmas in Indonesian Society, Follow Vision+ Originals 'KATANYA' from Cretivox

Kapanlagi.com - Indonesian society believes in myths, stigmas, and various things that are considered taboo in their environment. Although it arouses curiosity, some people are reluctant to discuss these things because they are considered sensitive. To answer the curiosity and provide a platform for the public to get to know these myths and stigmas, Vision+ collaborates with Cretivox to present the latest original series entitled KATANYA on Tuesday, March 15, 2022.

The series KATANYA is a documentary series that explores the theme of stigma or myths surrounding society. This series is neutral, not taking sides as a supporter or opponent of stigma or myths as conveyed information. Starring Ben Sihombing as the host, viewers will be invited to watch interviews and explanations from community figures and the general public regarding certain myths or stigmas. Ben Sihombing also revealed one of the episodes that is most memorable to him. Especially since the storyline reminded him of one of his extended family members.

"The most exciting episode is 'Maghrib', because the production is very personal. So, I have a grandmother who in the 80s-90s, went out to the market and had an accident hit by a train. If we ask her, she doesn't remember the details of why the accident happened," he said during a virtual press conference in Jakarta on Tuesday (15/3/2022).
