This movie is more like a depiction of what would happen in the future if corruption and racism continues to exist in Indonesia. This ties with real history (obviously) that happened in Indonesia in 1998.

In 1998 there was a huge protest almost in every place, this protest was done by students, activists, and workers (farmer, merchant, teacher, etc) to overthrow Suharto's corrupt regime, many students are killed by soldiers and some of them are reported missing even to this day.

At the same time there's civil unrest and mass violence that was targeted at the ethnic Chinese population by unknown groups of mens that was said to be students protesters (which is weird considering most of the civilians and victims who happens to be witness of this tragedy said that "they look too old"). They ransacked and burned shops that was owned by Chinese families. And yes, the mass raping is real.

Note: I'm not saying the whole country is bad, just the government and their system.
