Nia Dinata's latest explores Islamic terrorism

Nia Dinata's LOVE FOR SHARE won the Halekulani Golden Orchid for Best Feature at the last LVHIFF. Highly controversial for its portrayal of women living in Indonesia, Dinata's latest (just producing duties on this one) continues the trend. According to the BBC LONG ROAD TO HEAVEN, a retelling of the terrorist bombings in Bali five years ago that killed over 200, with most of the casualties being western tourists,has divided Indonesians on the treatment and perspective of this tragic event. Thanks to Matt Dentler for passing this along.
