	Description:		In honor of Kartini Day and with the upcoming release of the big budget Indonesian blockbuster biopic "Kartini" in mind, we take a look back at our 4th episode, "Reclamation!" A Kartini Day Special, and provide some of our thoughts and reactions to that episode one year later. We unpack the issues around having Hanung Bramantyo as the director and Dian Sastrowardoyo playing the lead as Kartini. Both have made problematic statements about feminism in general, and given that this Kartini movie is the first movie about Kartini since the 1980s, we recognize the importance of discussing the movie in the greater context of Kartini's legacy. Finally, we end with a recommendation of reading the book "Panggil Aku Kartini Saja" by Indonesian's master writer Pramoedya Ananta Toer as — in our humble opinion — a better way to truly understand and honor Kartini as the true Indonesian feminist she was and continues to be.
