Feature Narrative • Indonesia • 01h 39m
During the Japanese occupation, Lafran was detained for defending cattle farmers. He was then released after his father provided a ransom. While studying in Jogjakarta, Lafran was troubled by the educated Muslims who were too immersed in secular thoughts and neglected worship and founded HMI as a platform to struggle within theframework of Islam and Indonesian nationalism, and to remain non-political. Supported by his beloved, Dewi(Lala Karmela), he allowed HMI to be led by students not from the Islamic High School (STI), before later asking Syafaat Muntadja (Firandika) from UGM to lead HMI.
