Anak-anak Borobudur is a story about a kid in the village who grows up in the Indonesian village culture. The movie takes place in a village near the Borobudur Temple in the Central Java. The village people make their living by dig up stone and carve it into statue. Amat (Adadiri Tanpalang), a fifth grade boy helps his mute father with stone carving. At a school event, Amat wins a stone carving competition but he returns the price to the school because he felt that he doesn’t deserve it. He claims that his father is the one who finished the statue for competition for him. This action makes a huge impact. Amat dispels from school and his father is fired from his job. Even everybody doesn’t want to talk to him. Until Doni (Butet Kartaredjasa), an art reporter found this case and reports it to the governor. When the central Java governor, Mrs. Suryani (Christine Hakim) comes to the village, she gives Amat a present for his brave and integrity to tell the truth.

04 June 2007 (Jakarta Post) - For this week at the Mangga Dua Square in Jakarta, shoppers will be treated to an exhibition on the greatest Buddhist monument in Southeast Asia, Borobudur.
Ancient past exhibited in mall
…
For the next seven days starting Sunday, the seemingly distant topic of archaeology will be bridged by the exhibition, “Tracing the Nusantara civilization from the 9th to 12th centuries, Maha Karmawibhangga: The hidden legacy at the foot of Borobudur.”
“We want to bring this topic closer to the public and reveal things that previously remained exclusive to academics,” the Tourism and Culture Ministry’s head of cultural research and development, Junus Satrio Atmodjo, said last week.
The famed Borobudur serves as a lure to bring people in and pique their interest in Indonesia’s ancient past.
The timing of the exhibition was impeccable, with Buddhists commemorating Buddha’s Day of Enlightenment, or Waisak, the Friday before
Even if most Jakartans have not yet had the opportunity to visit Borobudur's original site in Magelang, Central Java -- most capital city-dwellers have at least heard of or seen images of the almighty Buddhist spectacle. But for those who've never seen anything of the famous temple -- or for those who'd simply like a closer look at some of its hidden secrets, the best of Borobudur is in town with this week's Archaeology Goes to Mall exhibition at Mangga Dua Square. The inaugural exhibition is an effort to break down the barriers around the world of archaeology and to show why Karmawibhangga, the hidden piece of relief wall inside Borobudur temple, is so important for today's historians. Every panel of the Karmawibhangga series on display this week depicts how common, every-day people interacted with each other centuries ago. A trip to Mangga Dua Square to see the panels of Karmawibhangga will also see visitors learn more about the causal law of life -- known as the laws of Kar
