Mojokerto to produce a film on Majapahit

MOJOKERTO, East Java: The Mojokerto Archaeological Office plans
to produce a documentary film on the Majapahit Kingdom to
increase interest in the famous kingdom whose territory was
almost as large as the territory of Indonesia today.

Winston Mambo, an official at the office, said the film would
explore the legacy of the kingdom, including the temples, statues
and many other artifacts still standing in East Java.

Work on the film is expected to begin soon and is scheduled to
be completed by December. Video compact discs of the film will be
shipped to schools throughout the province.

"We decided to produce the film after we discovered that not
many people here knew much about the history of the great
kingdom," said Mambo. -- JP
