MIND ID: The Mind Journey Film Educates Public on Mining Best Practices
Jakarta (ANTARA) - Indonesia’s Mining Industry Holding MIND ID has revealed that the documentary film “The Mind Journey: For Indonesia and The World” provides education on good mining practices to the public. “Yes, that’s correct; mining does alter the landscape, but if carried out with the spirit and values of good mining practices, we can see how the holding’s members uphold these values. From planning to operations and post-mining activities,” said MIND ID President Director Maroef Sjamsoeddin in Jakarta on Wednesday (1/4) evening. According to him, everyday items such as equipment, gear, or gadgets like mobile phones are products of mining. “So, to truly educate the public, I believe we must provide education by presenting something through a medium,” he stated. The documentary film “The Mind Journey: For Indonesia and The World” also serves as a platform to get to know each other among the holding’s members, namely PT ANTAM (Persero) Tbk, PT Bukit Asam (Persero) Tbk, PT Freeport Indonesia, PT INALUM, PT Timah (Persero) Tbk, and PT Vale Indonesia Tbk. “I thought, when I first joined MIND ID, that each holding member should unite under the MIND ID umbrella,” said Maroef Sjamsoeddin. Therefore, according to him, this film can realise a shared cultural value that everyone can see and understand. “Because we are under one umbrella, one shared home, we must know each other. How? By realising it through an engaging presentation that can be seen and heard. What is that? A film. That’s the internal purpose of producing this,” he explained. The documentary film “The Mind Journey: For Indonesia and The World” presents how MIND ID holding members implement good mining practices from Sumatra to Papua, contributing from land reclamation of former mining sites to the education sector through mobile smart classrooms. The documentary consists of 13 episodes and was produced by Ari Sihasale and Nia Sihasale Zulkarnaen, who also serve as hosts in the film “The Mind Journey: For Indonesia and The World”.
