sparks introspection on cultural identity in the face of globalization. It underscores the
importance of embracing and valuing cultural diversity while navigating the complex

preservation, and societal values within each segment. By employing this approach, the film
effectively connects the chosen thematic concepts with the subject matter, offering a
comprehensive analysis of the Baduy tribe's cultural identity in the context of contemporary
