Get Up Stand Up

About This Movie

Get Up Stand Up is an interesting mix of comedy and drama that gives a glimpse into the life of Babe Cabiita, a radio broadcaster in Medan. The film captures the hustle and bustle of local radio life, where Babe's charm and connection with his audience shine through, even if the station itself feels stifled. There’s this constant tug-of-war between passion and practicality, especially with Fatiya's push for him to join the corporate world. The performances are quite solid, and the pacing has this easy-going rhythm that allows you to really digest the emotional stakes. It’s not your typical feel-good story, more like a real slice of life that explores the struggle between dreams and responsibilities. Quite unique in its approach, really.
