The film TANAH RUNTUH, which will be screened in theaters starting June 25, 2026, not only presents a story about social conflict in Poso, Central Sulawesi. Directed by Rudi Soedjarwo and produced by Denny Siregar, the film also offers a humanitarian story from the perspective of children who have rarely received attention.
This is what left the deepest impression on Vino G.Bastian after watching the film for the first time at a press screening. The Jakarta-born actor admitted that he was touched by the way TANAH RUNTUH highlights small stories amidst the major events that have occurred in Indonesia.
According to Vino, many people have only viewed a conflict through the number of victims or the magnitude of the events that occur. In fact, there is another side that is often overlooked, especially the experiences of children who become victims of such situations.
"Too many people capture that event on a large scale, but the small things are often forgotten. In a riot, chaos, the most affected are children. But they cannot speak. They were never asked, and they are a part that seems to have escaped media coverage," said Vino at a press conference at XXI Epicentrum, South Jakarta, Thursday (18/6).
The actor who plays Idham believes the story of Kai and Ringgo serves as a reminder that every major event always leaves scars for children. For that reason, he feels fortunate to be involved in a film that raises that perspective.
