Summary |
For ten weeks, Violet, a nineteen-year-old Australian girl is totally immersed in a traditional Indonesian lifestyle as she swaps family, friends, and cultures with Dewi, a Muslim girl her own age from Jakarta, Indonesia. This intimate story is set against the backdrop of escalating tension between their two countries, fuelled in part by mutual distrust and increasing acts of terrorism by Muslim extremists. Both girls, armed with small digital video cameras record the encounters within each other's cultures. In a world full of uncertainty and fear comes an intimate, brave and universal story that attempts to shed light, rather than heat as two young women attempt to demystify each other's culture and explore the notion that the West and the Muslim community have more potential for an enduring connection, rather than reciprocal destruction.
