Previously, the www.hukumindo.com platform has talk about "Legal Dispute Over Lava Treasure Discovery", "Contoh Surat Perjanjian Sewa Peralatan Konstruksi", you may read also "Employee Fired for Refusing to Attend Office Party Deemed Boring" and on this occasion we will discuss about '12 Mile, a Biopic of Mochtar Kusumaatmadja'.

The film "12 Mile: Guiding the Archipelago," produced by MAI Productions, depicts the struggle of the late Foreign Minister and national hero, Mochtar Kusumaatmadja, in establishing an archipelagic state and the Indonesian Archipelago Outlook as a concept accepted by international law. According to "12 Mile" director Tubagus Deddy, while older generations may only remember Mochtar from his time as foreign minister on TVRI, he remains a lesser-known hero to the younger generation. "Even before, we didn't know what he did to become a national hero. However, after researching, it turned out that Mochtar's thoughts, despite his simplicity, were of international caliber," Deddy said at a press conference ahead of the exclusive screening of "12 Mile" in Central Jakarta on Wednesday evening.[1]

He explained that the premise of the film stems from Indonesia's 25-year diplomatic struggle to realize the concept of an archipelagic state, from being opposed by major countries to being recognized by the world through UNCLOS 1982. It also shows Mochtar's position as both a skilled diplomat and a father and head of the family in the film. Deddy said that one of the challenges in making the film "12 Mile" was translating the basic concepts of international maritime laws into an audiovisual form that could be accepted by the audience. The reason is, the concept of maritime law that Mochtar fought for throughout his life might be too complicated for the audience if presented simply, said the director who was also involved as a scriptwriter in the film "Ancika" (2024).[2] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.
