Director Erwin Arnada and screenwriter Salman Aristo (left) say they've found a treasure trove of information in the Netherlands for their upcoming biopic about one of Indonesia's founding fathers, Mohammad Hatta.
Over 10 days in The Netherlands, where Hatta was kept under house arrest during the Independence War; the team found more than 25,000 items relating to Hatta published in 1925 alone.
'The number speaks volumes as to the importance of Hatta in fighting for independence, right from the country of the colonizer, during his house arrest,' Erwin said as quoted by tempo.co on Sunday.
Salman said that they also took a look at the room where Hatta, then vice president, led a tripartite conference in The Haag in 1949.
Erwin added that filming would start in February.
