G30S/PKI historical film scheduled for Trans TV broadcast

The historical film ‘Penumpasan Pengkhianatan G30S/PKI’ is scheduled for broadcast on Trans TV on September 30, 2026, at 20:00 WIB. The film is part of a seasonal interest in the movie as the anniversary of the 1965 events approaches.

Produced by Perum Produksi Film Negara (PPFN) in 1984 and directed by Arifin C. Noer, the film reconstructs the political ambitions of the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI) and the subsequent kidnapping and killing of seven Indonesian Army generals. The narrative focuses on the events occurring between the night of September 30 and the early hours of October 1, 1965.

Originally broadcast annually on TVRI following its 1984 release, the mandatory screening of the film ended after the 1998 Reformasi era. Today, the film remains accessible through various digital platforms and television broadcasts.
