Indonesia Dari Timur

Edu, a senior pilot who serves pioneering routes in Papua, received a special assignment from Simon, the owner of the airline company. Edu was promised to lead Simon's subsidiary, if he was able to establish a youth football club which they would sponsor, by recruiting young Papuan talents. Edu then met John, the coach who had just won a gold medal at the national football event. John responded pessimistically to Edu's plan, because his team had split up and returned to their respective lives. Edu realized that pessimism was the biggest challenge he had to face.

Directed by Ari Sihasale, Indonesia Dari Timur leans on a strong ensemble — Ibnu Jamil, Marcelino Lefrandt, Damara Finch — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2024.
