When Obama had a dream to become president 40 years ago in Indonesia, his school friends did not imagine that it will become real. Their memories will this period have been collected in a novel, which was launched last March at SDN 01 Menteng Primary School where President Barack Obama never attended school from the years 1970-1971.
Not only that, Tuesday, May 11, 2010 as a thanksgiving ceremony was held early yesterday filming OBAMA CHILDREN Menteng Plaza Senayan, Jakarta, of course adapted from the novel.
The film revolves around OBAMA CHILDREN Menteng little Barry's life, calls Obama, while still living in Menteng Top, Central Jakarta.
Damien Novel Writer Dematra took director John De Rantau plans to release the film in June. Indirectly, this film was dedicated to Obama's arrival into Indonesia, which was scheduled to come in mid June.
"This crazy project for me. The time is very fast and we had to visualkan an American President who did not play games. So I immediately offered a prayer istikharah. One side of one side of me groggy and I'm happy too. But this movie makes me fear not could make the film very well, "said the director John De Rantau
Filming this movie will not be done in Menteng Top, where Obama once lived. Understandably, his condition has changed and is no longer the same as Obama's place of residence at the time.
"After we've been looking for, we at Jakarta's hard to find buildings that are similar to home Lolo Soetoro (Obama's step father). Why we found the location shooting in the area Cimahi, Bandung. Incidentally there are still lots of trees and appropriate." We also conjure up the National Monument and the vehicles as if the time in the 70s, "We start filming date May 14, 2010," said John.
THE director, mendapuk a small child from the United States (U.S.) as a small Obama. Child's name is Hasan Faruq Ali. Hasan, according to the director can not speak English and Indonesian. "People from his mother, Ann Dunham Lolo figures from Europe and from Belgium," said Damien.
Add Damien, the film is not the real story of Obama's life journey four years in Indonesia. He just summarize the stories in the childhood friend of Obama.
One scene in the film Son of Menteng Obama is likely to reap a little controversy is Obama who appeared dab Prayers Koran.
Damien is not afraid to admit even such sensitive issues raised in the film. "If Obama recite and pray that little fact. We have strong evidence," said Damien. And he would not be worried if it would ignite prayer scenes controversy.
Damien claimed to have pocketed the permission from the White House, United States (U.S.) to raise that fact.
"We also requested permission to the U.S., and received informal permission. Please, everyone had a childhood," said Demien.
Obama repeatedly stressed he was Christian. But Obama's religion continues to be debate, both before he became president, or until now he headed the U.S..
Mass media in the country, Uncle Sam was even lower poll about Obama's religion. From NBC News poll / Wall Street Journal as much as 13 percent believe Obama is Muslim.
Essentially the film tells about the Dream, "The Power Of Dream", If we want to dream there is always hope, so this is to inspire young children to have the courage to dream, if they dare to dream of nothing is impossible, because Obama from childhood dreamed of becoming a president. "
"I think Obama is an evidence of the success of Pluralism, a minority who could become president in a country different from the majority of which was an extraordinary achievement" concluded Damien.
