The Journey: Angklung Goes to Europe
"If You Want To Be a Champion Then Train Like a Champion!"
35 musical beginners went to compete in a prominent folk-competitions in Europe to preserve and promote angklung, an Indonesian heritage. They must succeed otherwise they will ruin the angklung’s reputation. This film is more than a story about Angklung – which by the way was recognised by UNESCO as world’s intangible cultural heritage in 2010. It is about a journey into the unknown for a large group of young people – their first international travel, chaotic schedules, meeting and touching the hearts of people from different cultures. It’s a journey that none of them will ever forget.
