Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

J-Town captures the specific tension between 'old money' Menteng families and Jakarta's urban villages (kampung), a divide rarely explored in Indonesian animation.

Trivia

Creator Widharini reportedly based Bu Tini on her own aunt who refused to sell her Kemang house during the 1998 crisis. The aunt still sends angry voicenotes about accuracy.
