Tropic Fever (2022)
Directed by Perdana Roswaldy, Mahardhika Yudha, Robin Hartanto Honggare
Documentary · 1h 00m
The semi-autobiographical account of a European plantation manager on Sumatra during Dutch colonial rule becomes a starting point for reflections on the structure of the plantation itself. An essay about local tobacco and rubber cultivation, the construction of skin colour as a social category and the "tropic fever” which rises slowly but inexorably, edited from archive material dating from 1890 to 1930.
