The story of Dara Puspita, an Indonesian all-female band that was famous in the
1960s, is set to be made into a biopic by production house FP. FP producer Frederica said she
believed the Surabaya-based band’s story deserved to be told on the big screen. “We think
it’s important, especially because at that time they were the only Indonesian all-female band
that performed in dozens of European cities,” Frederica told tempo.co.
Expected to be released in 2020, the production house is currently still conducting
research. “Their story will be very inspiring,” said Frederica, who expressed optimism the
film would set a new trend in the industry, which she said lacked, films about local
musicians. The band has reportedly given consent for the adaptation. Drummer Titiek
Hamzah also expressed hopes the film would show the band’s stories and struggles. “It
needs to represent what a musician’s journey is like,” she said. The journey of Dara Puspita
began from the 1960s to the early 1970s. In 1965, they became the opening act for
legendary band Koes Bersaudara under the name Irama Puspita. Among their popular tracks
were “A Go Go”, “Burung Kakaktua” and “Tanah Airku”.

Over the past 115 years global average temperatures have increased 1.8 degrees
Fahrenheit, leading to record-breaking weather events and temperature extremes, the
report says. The global, long-term warming trend is “unambiguous,” it says, and there is “no
convincing alternative explanation” that anything other than humans — the cars we drive,
the power plants we operate, the forests we destroy — are to blame.
