Remembering Aceh's tsunami disaster eight years ago, a new disaster risk reduction movie premieres this week.
Premiering on Dec. 20, "Pesan Dari Samudra" ("Message From the Ocean") tells the story of a family in Indonesia battling a disaster situation.
"Pesan Dari Samudra" is a 76-minute feature film made by renowned Indonesian filmmakers Mira Lesmana and Riri Riza.
This groundbreaking project, funded by the Australia-Indonesia Facility for Disaster Reduction (AIFDR), is an initiative from the Australian Red Cross.
“AIFDR was pleased to support this film as it explains what to do, and what not to do, in the case of an earthquake or tsunami,” co-director of AIFDR Matt Hayne said in a statement received by the Jakarta Globe blogs.
"Pesan Dari Samudra" will be aired on Metro TV, Dec. 29 at 9:30 p.m. The airing is eight years after the devastating tsunami struck Indonesia on Dec. 26, 2004.
“Indonesia is one of the most disaster prone countries in the world. This film is one of the many strategies being undertaken by AIFDR to spread key survival messages to those who may be impacted by natural disasters,” Hayne said.
