Kapanlagi.com - The children's advocate Seto Mulyadi, better known as Kak Seto, greatly appreciates the efforts of Bintang Kecil Indonesia and Connection Films to revive content for children that is almost extinct.
In reality, in this era, children's films and songs are becoming increasingly rare. Children are more often exposed to songs that are not suitable for their age, and entertainment that is not always educational.
To address this concern, Bintang Kecil and Connection Films plan to release a family musical drama film that aims to revive the cultural identity of Indonesian children amidst the onslaught of foreign culture.
