As quoted from infoscreening.co, Supreme Master Tan Malaka became the third film Daniel Rudi Haryanto after previously working on Prison and Paradise and Fluid Boundaries. Supreme Master Tan Malaka's own film has received assistance from the Directorate General of Education and Culture which disbursed Rp175 million. Therefore, long ago Rudi has turned on the 'legality' of this movie and hope there is no ban.
"Making this film is a long journey as well as other friends, so how can this Tan Malaka be accepted, the legitimacy is clear.We help Kemendikbud, so there is no reason for mass organizations to ban, the government helps, the ministry knows, the director general knows," said Rudi apart from Infoscreening.
According to Rudi, Tan Malaka's services for Indonesia have recognized the state through Presidential Decree No. RI. 53 of 1963 which established him as a National Hero. However, events aimed at reviewing Tan Malaka often get banned because they are pervading the teachings of communism.
"But the stigma attached to Tan Malaka's self, so this is my way of responding to fears that are deliberately created by a group of people," Rudi said.
