Based on a best selling novel that sold more than 500,000 copies in Indonesia, Laskar Pelangi is the story of a warm, committed and idealistic teacher and ten unforgettable students, the children of the poor working-class of a remote but rich and beautiful island. The school threatens to close down, but the teachers and their students struggle to gain the respect of the village they all come from. The movie was shot in beautiful landscapes of Belitong with a cast of non-professional children actors.
