After Multatuli Left

Setelah Multatuli pergi

In 1860, Max Havelaar was written by the famous Dutch writer. Multatuli was first published "The book that killed colonialism”. In one and a half century after it was written, many scholars reflected on whether the book is a made-up story or a collection of facts. However, no one seems to have ever asked the question: what happened to the oppressed people of Lebak, which Multatuli stood up for? The documentary film After Multatuli Left tries to find out what has or has not changed since then by following the trail of Arjan Onderdenwijngaard’s video footage in 1987.
