Abstract

This study discusses how multicultural is wrapped in the dimensions of democracy in Indonesia. The society's understanding of the multicultural and democratic system used by Indonesia is the Indonesian government's task in shaping its citizens to become more mature. Through open space such as film festivals is one way of introducing a multicultural society wrapped with democracy. The research that takes the benchmark of the Cheng-Cheng PO film as the winner of the film festival as its object makes a new step to provide a multicultural understanding to the people. Without tendency to certain parties, the film makes it an effective medium in helping the government to further mature its people in understanding democracy and multiculturalism
