Cin(T)a

May 10, 2009

Dear gods of censorship at the Ministry of Indonesia,

Please let this movie pass. Allow us to have this discussion.

Love has got to be able to transcend these lines, right?

This is more than just love across racial lines. I need to know if love can transcend religions. There are love laws which compel and constrain whom we can and cannot love. It seems senseless when our alternative is to hate or to ignore.

But if kinship exists between citizens of different hue and of different faith, then does that not demand that love is possible and is permissible between two individuals who may call their God by different names?

Isn’t this what you’ve been trying to teach me all these years?
Isn’t this the core of what you preach?

Brotherhood.

.

I have to believe in this in order to believe in You.

Cin(T)a will be screened on 10 June 2009 in London.
Do catch it if you’re around.

or, let’s bring it here to Singaling! Are you in?

;)
