I really liked the film Merantau. The film was about a boy named Yuda who leaves his family and home to go on his Merantau. The word Merantau means coming of age. It is a tradition among the communities young men to go to the city of Jakarta to learn how to prove themselves. Yuda does exactly this. Yuda experiences many setbacks that leave him very uncertain about his future, but he never gives up. He meets Astri and her younger brother Adit. Yuda helps defend them against human traffickers. In the end, Yuda uses his martial art skills to save Astri, Adit, and other girls that are suffering from sex trafficking. Sadly, Yuda dies while protecting others. This shows us that Yuda truly did prove himself on his Merantau by putting others before himself.
