Indonesia has a long history of students leading movements for change. After a series of protests in August and the viral sharing of an emergency warning sign on social media, we speak to Satya Azyumar, an activist and leader of a new youth organisation called Social Justice Indonesia. Based in Jakarta, this group hosts meetings where its 17 members get together to critically and openly discuss politics in Indonesia. In Melbourne, we speak to academic Pipin Jamson at a rally outside the Indonesian Consulate calling for an end to Jokowi's political dynasty in Indonesia. And Victoria Winata, a young Chinese-Indonesian woman who wrote and performed a play at a theatre in Melbourne about her experience with intergenerational trauma from the events of May 1998.
