“Little Obama”

Filed under:General — posted by Jack on 8/22/2010 @ 10:29 pm

“Little is known about Barack Obama’s life as a kid growing up in Indonesia from ages six to 10, aside from the brief memories recounted in his book Dreams of my Father. But Little Obama, an imminent film from Indonesian production company Multivision Plus, promises to shed new light on the young “Barry” Obama.

Is the film going to be political?
“It’s just the story of a boy,” says Dematra. “It’s about his friendships, his hobbies, just a childhood story.” Although he hopes the film will show how Indonesia’s rich racial and religious melting pot shaped Obama’s character, Dematra says he “does not want the message of the film to be political in any way.” He is considering cutting a scene in which Obama tries on a sarong during Muslim prayer in case it is misinterpreted.”
