YOUTH PLEDGE is a fascinating dive into the complexities of identity. It juxtaposes personal and national narratives, using documentary techniques that feel both intimate and experimental. The film weaves together personal identification documents with objects that resonate with 'Indonesian-ness', creating a collage that portrays young Indonesians navigating their heritage while living abroad. The pacing is contemplative, inviting viewers to reflect rather than simply consume. The recitations of the Youth Pledge lend a palpable sense of history and collective memory, grounding the film in something deeply resonant. It's a distinct take on belonging and self-perception against the backdrop of cultural diasporas. Definitely a thought-provoking piece for those into experimental documentaries.
