JAKARTA: 5 December 2010 -- Fr Peter Tukan SDB, as head of the
Social Communications Commission for the Indonesia Delegation, today
launched "Laura", an Indonesian film based on the story of
Blessed Laura Vicuna. During the launching ceremony, Fr Yohanes
Boedirahardjo SDB, the superior of the Indonesian Delegation, hailed
this event as one of the first efforts of the Indonesia Delegation
(ITM), using the film/movie, to promote the Salesian charism in this
country. Meanwhile the ceremony allotted time to introduce and thank
the production team, the cast of characters and the technicians
involved in the making of this movie. It was noted that the actors and
persons involved were from different social and religious backgrounds,
and had to familiarize themselves with the Salesian style. In
coordination with the Archdiocese of Jakarta, the film will be shown in
the parishes and will also be shown in a local TV station on Christmas
Day.
The whole Salesian family was involved, helping in
one way or another.... even some Salesian confreres and Sisters were
cast into the movie with minor roles or part of the crowd. The film, in
compact disk format, is planned to be sold together with the Indonesian
translation of the biography of Blessed Laura Vicuna... so that the
original story of Blessed Laura Vicuna will be made known.
Although St John Bosco or the other holy models of
the Salesian Family could have been the first to be made into a movie,
Laura Vicuna was the choice because of the similarity of issues in
Indonesia regarding the promotion of family and moral values, the
sacrament of matrimony, the respect for children and women, the need
for heroes, domestic violence, poverty, care for youth in need, and
many others. This film becomes also an occasion to make the FMA sisters
more known in Indonesia because presently, the SDB's have 6 presences
and the FMA's have two. _________________ AustraLasia is an
