TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Indonesian movie director Hanung Bramantyo will continue to screen his latest film Soekarno that tells the tale of the first Indonesian President. He believes that the movie is historically accurate. "I will continue to screen Soekarno because there is nothing wrong about the movie," he said at Pacific Place, Jakarta, on Friday, September 20, 2013.
