Actress Chelsea Islan says she had no doubts when she was offered a role in Lukman Sardi's movie, Di Balik '98 (Behind '98).
'I like history, and by acting in a movie about history we can also take part in educating people,' Chelsea said as quoted by kompas.com.
Di Balik '98 is a drama that is based on the 1998 tragedy. Chelsea will play a student activist who takes part in protests to topple then president Soeharto.
As Chelsea was only three years old when the tragedy happened, it was a challenge for her to perform her role.
The star of Merry Riana said she had watched a lot of videos of the tragedy, met with the real activists who took part in the protests and talked with many people who witnessed the tumultuous events.
'I did all this because I know that Lukman Sardi's film is a serious one,' she said.
