Indonesia In-Documentary - Where Do We Draw The Line?

Between May - July 1945, members of the Investigative Committee for Preparatory Work for Independence (BPUPKI) deliberated on what territories should be included in a future Republic of Indonesia, if Japan granted independence. Should the new state stretch from Southern Thailand to Papua New Guinea? Should it extend only to the borders of the former Dutch colony? Or, should it mirror the territory of the former Majapahit Kingdom from the 14th and 15th Century?

In this audio documentary, we revisit the intellectual history of “Tanah Air” with historian Dr. Yosef Djakababa.
