Erasmus Huis to show 'Oeroeg'

JAKARTA (JP): Erasmus Huis will present films produced by Hans
Hylkema, best-known in this country for his film entitled Oeroeg.

The movie Oeroeg is open for public viewing on Saturday at the
Erasmus Huis auditorium, on Jl. H.R. Rasuna Said in South
Jakarta, running from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Oeroeg is the name of an Indonesian boy, the son of a
plantation foreman, who builds a close friendship with the son of
the Dutch plantation owner. The story highlights the different
social standings of the two boys, who were born on the same day.

As they grow up amid the emerging wave of nationalist fervor,
their friendship becomes strained as they find themselves on
opposite sides.

Producer Hans Hylkema will be present at the screening, which
will also feature another of his films The Kingmaker Connection.
