About This Movie

Di Balik Topeng Merah is a sobering documentary that dives into the rising violence against long-tailed monkeys during the pandemic. The tone is stark, almost haunting, as it juxtaposes the chaos of human behavior against the vulnerable lives of these creatures. Azyd Aqsha Madani's direction is intimate, capturing both the struggles of the monkeys and the efforts of passionate animal lovers trying to reclaim them. There's a rawness to the footage that draws you in, and the pacing feels almost meditative at times, allowing the weight of the subject to settle. What stands out is the commitment shown by various organizations, revealing a side to animal activism that often goes unnoticed. It’s a film that tugs at the heartstrings but also prompts reflection on our relationship with nature.
