- Synopsis
- "Jalanan"(Streetside) is a feature length musical documentary that tells the captivating story of Boni, Ho and Titi . three talented, charismatic bus musicians in Jakarta, Indonesia. Jalanan accompanies the three characters as they perform songs of social angst on commuter buses, debate politics and crime by the roadside and flee from their sewage underpass home during a monsoon flash flood. The documentary follows them back to their distant home villages in East Java and exposes the injustices and dangers they face in their adopted city.
- Director's Note
- One of the most unique aspects of Jakarta street life is the ubiquitous presence of bus musicians who perform on commuter buses across the city. Many of these young entertainers are bona fide homeless street kids who literally sing for their supper. Others are bored, unemployed youth with roofs over their heads for whom street busking represents extra income or even true musical ambition. Either way, their world is a powerful Jakarta sub-culture in its own right, with rules and a language of its own. It is a world closely intertwined with local politics, society, culture, and economics. A neat little microcosm that speak volumes about what makes Indonesian society tick in a tumultuous age.
