Cempaka Culture and Tourism: Democracy Film Wins Director Trip To White House

“… The Shift in Human Nature

You're starting to see integrity change. Awareness recalibrates integrity, and the Human Being who would sit there and take advantage of another Human Being in an old energy would never do it in a new energy. The reason? It will become intuitive, so this is a shift in Human Nature as well, for in the past you have assumed that people take advantage of people first and integrity comes later. That's just ordinary Human nature.

In the past, Human nature expressed within governments worked like this: If you were stronger than the other one, you simply conquered them. If you were strong, it was an invitation to conquer. If you were weak, it was an invitation to be conquered. No one even thought about it. It was the way of things. The bigger you could have your armies, the better they would do when you sent them out to conquer. That's not how you think today. Did you notice?

Any country that thinks this way today will not survive, for humanity has discovered that the world goes far better by putting things together instead of tearing them apart. The new energy puts the weak and strong together in ways that make sense and that have integrity. Take a look at what happened to some of the businesses in this great land (USA). Up to 30 years ago, when you started realizing some of them didn't have integrity, you eliminated them. What happened to the tobacco companies when you realized they were knowingly addicting your children? Today, they still sell their products to less-aware countries, but that will also change.

What did you do a few years ago when you realized that your bankers were actually selling you homes that they knew you couldn't pay for later? They were walking away, smiling greedily, not thinking about the heartbreak that was to follow when a life's dream would be lost. Dear American, you are in a recession. However, this is like when you prune a tree and cut back the branches. When the tree grows back, you've got control and the branches will grow bigger and stronger than they were before, without the greed factor. Then, if you don't like the way it grows back, you'll prune it again! I tell you this because awareness is now in control of big money. It's right before your eyes, what you're doing. But fear often rules. …”

Democracy Film Wins Director Trip To White House

Jakarta Globe, Dessy Sagita, June 22, 2010

A 21-year-old Indonesian will soon meet US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton at the White House after his film on democracy won a competition held by the State Department.

“I found out this morning that my short film has been named one of the six winners in this competition. I’m so grateful,” Adhyat mika, the writer and director of the video, said on Monday.

The film, “Democracy Is Yet to Learn,” portrays a classroom of lawmakers, lawyers, farmers, policemen and students trying to answer a teacher’s question about the meaning of democracy.

It garnered enough online votes to defeat more than 70 local contenders to clinch a berth in the finals.

Only 18 contestants from six world regions made it to the finals in the Democracy Video Challenge, which saw more

than 700 submissions from 86 countries.

Mika, as he likes to be called, said he made the movie because he was inspired by the political brouhaha surrounding the controversial Rp 6.7 trillion ($730 million) bailout of Bank Century.

Mika’s film defeated the other two finalists from Asia-Pacific region, Malaysia and Singapore.

The graduate from La Salle College of the Arts in Singapore said all six winners from six different regions had been invited to the White House in October.

“We will present our movies in front of high-ranking officials, including the secretary of state, Mrs. Hillary Clinton,” he said.

Mika said he would use the opportunity to give White House officials a quick description of the political situation in Indonesia, a developing country.

“I want to show them that democracy is not a thing, it’s a process, and it’s not always pretty, especially because Indonesia is still learning,” he said.

The annual State Department competition asked contestants to make a video based on the question “Democracy is ...?” The contestants’ videos were uploaded on to YouTube and the winners were chosen based on the votes they earned.

Mika said his two-minute video was the first Indonesian film to make it into the online movie competition, which involved some prominent Hollywood figures, including an MTV director.

Mika said “Democracy Is Yet to Learn,” which has a bit of satire about Indonesian politicians and lawmakers, had garnered more than 6,300 votes from all over the world.

“The number of the voters is overwhelming for me. I never imagined that there were so many young people who still want to support Indonesian filmmakers as well as the democratic process in Indonesia,” he said.
