Menjahit Harapan (Stitching Hope)

Описание: MENJAHIT HARAPAN (Stitching Hope)
A Short Film by Deddy Raksawardana

Philadelphia, early 2000s.
In the quiet corners of immigrant life, where survival meets memory, one woman threads her past into her present.

This short film tells the story of Liana, a woman carrying invisible wounds of displacement. In a small row house room, she begins to sew a red-and-white flag, not only as a symbol of her homeland left behind, but as a fragile act of healing. Each stitch becomes a bridge between two nations, two identities, two longings.

This film is inspired by real lives and true struggles. Stories of loss, resilience, and the search for dignity amidst uncertainty.
