Adapted from the popular novel inspired by the life of Andrea Hirata. Riri Riza's The Rainbow Troops (Laskar Pelangi), attractive heart-string puller about a
working-class school. It's one of my favourite inspirational novel and beautifuly translated into English by Angie Kilbane. It's also interpretation in any other art like theather theme.
The Rainbow Troops, set on Belitong Island, Indonesia, tells the story of a tight-knit group of students and their teachers fighting for education and dignity, even as they face continual hardship. Fabulously rich in natural resources, Belitong is also home to chronic poverty and educational discrimination. This amazing story tells of a persistent young teacher and her tireless efforts to fight for her ten students’ right to an education. Together, they take the reader on a journey through the beauty of childhood friendship, the inspiration of love, and the power of education. The students’ magnetic personalities and unflagging determination are sure to inspire.
This inspirational novel is the first book in The Rainbow Troops Quartet. Sang Pemimpi (The Dreamer), Edensor, and Maryamah Karpov are the other three books in the series.
The beautiful story of Rainbow Troops was adapted for the big screen in 2008. It has found success not only in Indonesia, but also worldwide, and received awards including:
* A showing at the Berlin International Film Festival (Panorama), 2009
