OBAMA, THE MENTENG KID MOVIE (FILM OBAMA ANAK MENTENG)

Filming of the theatrical adaptation of 'Obama Anak Menteng' was conducted in Cimahi, Bandung, West Java, due to its similarities with the Menteng neighborhood in the 1970s. The film's script was written in three to four weeks and underwent four revisions before it was finalized. The 100-minute bilingual film is scheduled for screening on 17 June 2010, coinciding with Obama's state visit to Indonesia. It will be released in 60 main theaters nationwide. Production and distribution is done by Multivision Plus Pictures, one of Indonesia's largest film companies. It may release the film worldwide depending on international demand.

Hasan Faruq Ali, a 12-year-old American, plays the role of young Obama. Ali was born in Questa, New Mexico, to musicians Shakur Ali and Naseem Nahid, both members of a Sufi Muslim band. European actress Clara Lachelle portrays Obama's mother Ann Dunham, while an Indonesian actor in Belgium portrays his stepfather Lolo Soetoro.
