Quoted in a press release from the film production house, Thursday (9/5), Dee Company CEO and Producer, Dheeraj Kalwani, said that this achievement raised optimism regarding the resolution of the motorcycle gang violence case in Cirebon in 2016.
“One of the reasons the family agreed to make this film is because there are still three perpetrators who have not been arrested. Without this film, people will forget and not care. We hope the police will act decisively when many viewers join in voicing justice for Vina,” he said.

“In Indonesia, the law doesn’t work properly. What we want to convey through this film is, let’s build awareness together. Let’s stop here, let’s not have another Vina,” he said.
“What we want to convey especially to the government, other authorities, let’s enforce the law together. Don’t be blunt upwards, but sharp downwards,” added Anggy.
