This team’s visit was a follow-up to F2H’s participation in the film’s simultaneous screenings in various countries. After a week of filming in Bandung and Sumedang, the editing process was carried out by a team in Brazil, with additions and corrections made remotely, resulting in a lengthy completion process. A brief profile of Ms. Anna Alisjahbana and the two organizations she founded, Frontiers for Health and the Suryakanti Foundation, can be found here:
