I'm from Indonesia. In the 1990s my middle school had a 'surprise' visit from the Minister of Education, and at the only day of the rehearsal to welcome the minister, I decided not to come... Unfortunately, when he dropped in to the 'special day', the minister came straight at me and decided I was that one lucky student that will be asked for questions. Since I didn't attend the rehearsal, I was staged at the corner most location at the lab equipped with a broken microscope that only function if there is a natural light shining directly to it (which I didn't know). Needless to say, I did my best to avoid eye contact, and turned my back at him and start looking at my petri dish, quickly pretending I was busy with my microscope. But he was adamant, and still eager to look what I was looking at. To my surprise my microscope came back with an empty image as the minister stood straight next to the natural light source for that particular microscope and blocking the way.... He asked me deadpan what is it that we're looking at? and I just can't explain it to him since I wasn't there at the rehearsal and didn't know the issue. I can't forget the look of the Head of Education department, my principal, and my teacher...none of them prepared me with that question, I swore I could hear a pin drop during my speechless moment. Eventually, I did say we were looking at either an amoeba or an algae...while stuttering. This video reminds me to be grateful. I used to think Indonesia in the 1990s is like North Korea, but now I can gladly say that Indonesia in 1980-1990s, dictatorship was far far less deadly than NK. failing a staging doesn't warrant a child to be enrolled in forced labor or concentration camp and teachers let children to be their awkward-self. Even though we have a dictator rule at that time, I can remember that my teachers still appreciate my little protest at compulsory doctrine curriculum by putting 'I doubt it' or 'unsure' at every likert-scale test that worship the dictator, and gave me a pass even though I probably fail on every tests and never heard anyone went to any concentration camp for doing so.

To all the heartbroken guys here saying that the people seem to be so sad and exhausted: They just look like people on recordings 100 years ago from our society not forced to laugh on every picture like we do today. Actually it’s more sick that people put on a fake smile in our western world on every selfie than these so called acting people.

This is a great documentary. I've watched many documentaries where the reporters have been extremely provocative and asked the people questions that could potentially put them in danger. They were deliberately trying to ridicule the country. Meanwhile this is a refreshing film because the journalist has been very respectful towards the people, not forcing them to answer provocative questions. He sees the friendly, normal human side of these people. I love the sentence in the end about how generalizations serve no purpose. Very professional documentary.
