Turah (Wicaksono Wisnu Legowo, Indonesia, 2016, 83 minutes)

Masihkah terbesit harapan pada warga ketika kampung mereka yang terisolasi berada dalam pertarungan dua kepentingan berbeda antara pemuda bernama Turah dengan seorang lelaki tua bernama Jadag. Dua sosok kontradiktif ini sama-sama menjadi pengusung benang merah dari narasi tragis yang diakibatkan oleh kekuasaan lokal pemodal dan preman. Kehidupan di kampung Tirang sepenuhnya dikendalikan oleh perintah Darso, sang juragan kaya, di belakang kekuasaan pemerintah yang tinggal sebagai bayang-bayang. Turah tidak bisa selalu berbuat banyak untuk membantu dirinya dan keluarganya di tengah sikap apatis sesama warga kampung selain diam-diam berkompromi dengan kekuasaan lokal para preman. Turah adalah cerminan sosok warga yang menuruti aturan main, sedangkan Jadag, sebaliknya, sosok perlawanan yang akhirnya berujung pada maut.

Is there still any hope for the people when their isolated village is in a struggle between two different interests of a young man named Turah and an old man named Jadag. These two contradictory figures both bear the red thread of a tragic narrative caused by the local power of financiers and thugs. The life in Tirang village was entirely controlled by the command of Darso, the rich master, behind the reign of government that is only a shadow. Turah could not always do many things to help himself and his family in the midst of the apathy fellow villagers other than secretly compromise with the local powers of thugs. Turah is a reflection of the people who follow the rules of the game, while Jadag, on the contrary, is a figure of resistance that eventually led to death
