"MUI highly appreciates this film Hamka and Siti Raham (Vol 2), because besides being the first chairman of MUI, Buya Hamka is also a multi-dimensional figure, a scholar, a fighter, a cultural figure, and a nationalist.

Vino G Bastian, further stated that as a biopic film, BUYA HAMKA (vol1) is quite surprising in its achievements.

"For watching a biopic film, it feels heavy to watch. But Alhamdulillah, Buya Hamka's biopic is extraordinary, in the first volume it reached over one million and not many biopic films reach one million," said Vino G Bastian while hoping that the achievement of volume 2 will exceed that of volume 1.

3. Brief Synopsis

The film HAMKA & SITI RAHAM (vol 2) is a sequel to the film BUYA HAMKA. The film, directed by Fajar Bustomi, starring Vino G Bastian and Laudya Cyntia Bella, with a series of top artists from the country as supporting actors, will be simultaneously screened in all cinemas in Indonesia on December 21, 2023.

The film HAMKA & SITI RAHAM (vol 2) tells the story of Siti Raham's struggle to support Buya Hamka in his fight for independence and preaching. Even when Hamka was desperate because he was imprisoned, Siti Raham continued to support him sincerely.

Shortly after the proclamation of Indonesian independence, a second aggression threat from the Allies emerged. Hamka decided to travel around Medan to spread the importance of unity between the community (religious figures) and the TNI, to avoid division.

However, these efforts ended with Hamka being shot. Fortunately, Hamka survived and thanks to his dedication, he moved to Jakarta and established Al-Azhar.

However, Hamka was falsely accused of being involved in a rebellion against Soekarno. He was arrested and tortured to sign a confession letter. Hamka persisted and his experience led him to write the most influential book in Islamic education, namely Tafsir Al Azhar.
