Episode 62: Nia Dinata on Berbagi Suami and Polygamy [enhanced]

We are breaking format a bit this week. Instead of interviewing a musician about their latest album, we go in a different direction and interview one of Indonesia's hottest film directors about her latest movie and it's soundtrack. Nia Dianta, critically-acclaimed director of "Berbagi Suami", talks with Jason about what she learned about polygamy in Indonesia while researching the film. Check out this important episode and listen to two songs from the OST "Pergi Tanpa Pesan" and "Aksi Kuching". Since we are on the topic of movies and videos, this is the perfect time to give you a sneak preview of our latest service, "New Music Videos from Indonesia" sponsored by LA Lights (we are officially launching the service on Tuesday 1 May). Check out the "Pergi Tanpa Pesan" music video (with clips from the film) and a bunch more on www.equinoxdmd.com/videos as well as www.youtube.com/equinoxdmd . 17:14, 8.7 MB
