INTRODUCTIONEducation is a very important aspect of everyone's life (Sensoy & DiAngelo, 2017).
Education is also a series of learning processes that must be passed by everyone to achieve a better life. The result that will be achieved is the creation of competent human resources by the demands of development. Where he has good soft skills and hard skills by what is expected by the job field. With a good education, that person can contribute to personal life, family, the surrounding community, and country so that they can build a developed country that can be better than before. Priority scale education in a country greatly influences the level of development as well as progress in that country (Simanjuntak, 2020). Education will come first in a country if the country realizes how important and very influential education is for that country alone.
Unfortunately, in Indonesia, the level of education is not evenly distributed due to a lack of access to information, especially in remote areas (Soewondo, et al, 2013). In addition, the low quality of education in rural areas is also caused by poor road access to schools, not like school buildings, to inadequate facilities to support education. Of course, this is very worrying and has become one of the dynamics of education in Indonesia. It is no longer a secret that children living in rural areas of Indonesia are very difficult to get a proper life and education like children in general in urban areas. It is very difficult for children in rural areas to take and implement an educational life that is by the eligibility limits of Indonesian
education and it is difficult to keep up with the current developments (Tanang, H., & Abu, B., 2014). Not only that, but they also do not know and are not familiar with the communication tools that almost all urban children have, namely mobile phones or gadgets (Ismaili, J., &
Ibrahimi, E. H. O, 2017).
But in reality, not everything that is happening right now is their fault, their difficulty in reaching the school's location is a problem due to the difficult access road, the remote location so that they are required to walk for kilometers, some do not use footwear and do not have the proper uniform they are forced to pass through a river that flows fast without a connecting bridge. One of the biggest problems is also the lack of existing teaching staff in the 3T areas (frontier, remote, and underdeveloped). That thing happened because it was difficult to look for teaching staff who are willing to serve in remote areas, and very few staff teachers who want to volunteer to teach and promote education in rural areas. Yet each person has the right to a proper education (Noddings, 2018)
A film directed by Riri was born, entitled
“Sokola Rimba". “Sokola Rimba” is filming the one who tells about the journey of a teacher who devotes herself in the middle of the jungle to teach the children in the interior downstream as well as upstream River Mekakal. That person's name is Butet. Butet is a woman who works in a conservation area in the Jambi region. Butet’s mission is very high humanity that is make children ethnic Rimba group for
528
could read, write, and count with all the struggle and determination that he has. The film depicted a journey long Butet realize the mission of humanity, a lot of obstacles as well as obstacles (Simanjuntak, et al, 2021). So many good values made shared learning welcome a new educational spirit.METHOD
Study this use method qualitative which means study qualitative more in accordance for type understanding research phenomenon social from the prospective participant (Eriksson & Kovalainen, 2015).
Short can also be interpreted as more research appropriate for investigating the state or situation of something object (Van Manen, 2016). Method This is also a goal for understanding and interpreting the meaning of something facts, symptoms, or reality in something situation (Freeman, 2015). The incident occurs not only in shallow but also in deep. Subject in the study this objects, culture, people, and technique data collection based on quote events that occur in the film " Sokola Rimba".
RESULTS
The film "Sokola Rimba" is a story movie real storytelling related to struggle as well as devotion to a very caring woman about life as well as education in the Bukit Duabelas Forest, Jambi Province (Manurung, 2019). This movie duration nine twenty minutes. The writer will serve a synopsis and the existing situation
in the film "Sokola Rimba" in outline and detail. this movie was directed by Riri Riza and produced by Mira Lesmana who previously also produced the film Laskar Pelangi and the film Sang Pemimpi (Heryanto, 2014).
The story on film it's starting from the time of Butet that is the main character film do journey enters the village a self, in the middle journey physique Butet weaken until finally, Butet fainted in the middle forest, it turns out Butet caught disease fever bloody or malaria.
At that time Butet was seen and saved by a jungle man named Nyungsang Bungo.
Nyungsang Bungo is one child in the jungle that comes from downstream Makekal River, a place very far from the place Butet teaches in the upstream river (Purwanto, 2017). Incident this sparked Butet 's curiosity about children downstream that. During Butet teaching, Nyungsang Bungo secretly often notices Butet and brings a rolled letter. Nyungsang Bungo looks moment interested with activity study teaching conducted by Butet to children ethnic rimba group upstream river. Nyungsang Bungo at first caught by the children who came from upstream River Mekekal taught by Butet in the forest. children ask who Nyungsang Bungo is and offer for the following study together. So Nyungsang Bungo ran after introducing himself. Since that's Butet know the name as well as the origin Nyungsang Bungo who has to save Butet moment he affected by malaria.
Day by day traversed Butet very peacefully with the rimba people. Activity study teaches done every day in a House stage
529
with facility sober as board write chalk, books, and tools very limited write, as well as as much as possible, utilize results existing nature around for facility supporter study for children Rimba, like used grains for means count (Simanjuntak, 2020). After someday Butet is aware that Nyungsang Bungo no again notices Butet moment he currently teaching, that's where the desire knows Butet about Nyungsang Bungo is so tall and he wants coming back to downstream River Mekakal for meet with Nyungsang Bungo and teach existing children there.Plan Butet for could teaching downstream River Mekakal that is the place origin Nyungsang Bungo is not easy, time ask permission for coming to downstream River Mekakal Butet get a rejection from the boss is in place Butet work, even though he already submit a related proposal his wish for a return to downstream River Mekakal as power teacher. However, in case this does not dampen passion and determination a Butet the warrior education for permanent up downstream river and be power teacher there (Collewaert, 2016).
with two children of the jungle who have he taught that is Nengkabau and Beindah, Butet then walks browse Forest going to downstream River Mekakal, travel Butet and two students long. because of the distance from the place beginning Butet teach to River downstream Mekakal is very far away. While doing travel, do not forget to always practice to the student, for spell some words that are around (Simanjuntak, et al, 2021).
In the middle travel, they look at some people who are talking for exploit forests, that is felling Forest illegal complete with a saw that is already prepared (Humphreys, 2012). After those people are aware will present Butet and second his student. Then one of those people shoots gun wind to direct them, then they run with fast (Bostrom & Yudkowsky, 2018). Then for no purpose, they meet with dr. Astrid is resting inside the tent while treating a young man from Jambi who contracted malaria. dr.
Astrid is a researcher from the Wanaraya Foundation, the goal of dr. Astrid is coming to the village jungle that is for do research. Lots of talk Among Butet and dr. Astrid and Butet decide for overnight with dr. Astrid and some of his friends.
Arriving Butet and second downstream student very much Mekakal, they meet with 3 guys then they deliver fruit the small gifts from upstream River Mekakal. Butet and second students meet with Tumenggung Belaman Storm or chairman custom group ethnic group jungle downstream River Mekakal, they ask what intent and purpose Butet come to downstream River Mekakl after waiting several moments. Tumenggung no by direct permit Butet for entering and teaching in the area.
Finally, Butet decides to rest and spend the night on the edge settlement of Nyungsang Bungo. Tomorrow day Tumenggung come and allow Butet to come in and do activity study teaching in the village that. Nyungsang Bungo and the kids others are very enthusiastic about the presence of Butet, they enthusiastic for
530
study with Butet although with learning media modestly (Mulatsih & Aurora, 2021). Children make up for it change for could study together Butet.However evidently not all jungle groups are capable accept the arrival of Butet even no like with the presence of Butet (Manurung, 2012) Many groups of Rimba people refuse the presence of Butet because according to trust afraid will exist the curse that brings catastrophe for regions and groups because of the presence of books and pencils brought by Butet. Tumenggung tells a story that several times then once there is pencil then pencil the bring disease for inhabitant village downstream River Mekakal. Not long after Butet requested by respect for go out from settlement and leave River downstream Mekakal. With a heavy heart, Butet and the second student leave the village. Moment Nyungsang Bungo knows that Butet has to leave Jungle Village, he is angry as well as wonders why Butet go whereas he wants to study together Butet, he wants can read so that the perpetrator’s crime Forest no arbitrarily come and snatch what is not owned by them (McLynn, 2013). So Nyungsang Bungo left to look for existence Butet and second student but Nyungsang Bungo no find existence. after Butet arrived in the city, then he tells to a colleague as well as a superior work-related downstream situation River Mekakal. Butet says “I met with a boy Named Nyungsang Bungo who showed to me a piece of letter that doesn't could read it. No one from the group
could read. Scrolls paper that contains agreement taking timber in customary areas them, and they agree with giving thumbs up on a letter that doesn't could they read. With payment several cans of biscuits, sugar, and cigarettes. Bungo brings letter agreement that everywhere as if want to show to me how he wants can read and reject transaction the fraud of the Jungle people."
After the incident exits Butet from downstream River Mekakal, it turns out Butet and Nyungsang Bungo meet back in a House acquaintance Butet namely Mrs. Parian. Mrs.
Parian gave information that jungle people including from downstream River Mekakal often come for just deposit and exchange results craft hand they with several types needs the tree they need (Rodrik, 2015). On the spot here, Butet and Nyungsang Bungo meet come back, and Nyungsang Bungo learns again until he can read and write.
Moment existing emotion in the movie that is when Nyungsang Bungo reads a piece of the letter the agreement always he brings wherever, while Bungo reads letter agreement that, Butet, not power hold back tears then ask Nyungsang Bungo for stop read letter it and replace with book another reading (Kaufmann, 2013). One by one children jungle could read and write with enough good and right as well as applied in life his blessing struggle Butet. That the sign, what has been Butet fight for it one by one will achieve in Rimba people (Manurung, 2019). The tension then comes when people downstream River Mekakal come while calling
531
Nyungsang Bungo and brought news sorrow that Tumenggung Belaman Storm died and Nyungsang Bungo had to quickly return to home. jungle people say to Butet that death Tumenggung trusted because existence curse, curse the come when people downstream River Mekakal allow Butet enter for teaching children in the region. Then Nyungsang Bungo decided for home. Arriving there, it's quite not there is nobody. Apparently, after the death of Tumenggung Belaman Storm, all over the inhabitant River downstream Mekakal moved settlement.Departure Tumenggung Becomes reject measuring for Nyungsang Bungo for back to life beginning before there is Butet because he should return operate Melangun’s customs. Undergo journey in the process of moving settlement while blanketed sorrow deep late Tumenggung, travel the could be taken during months until many years (Subanar, 2020). Incident Melangun this time also becomes reject measuring as well as considering various plan forward for Butet, Ia believes that various type curse of course exists and real in look for as well as give knowledge of the area. Butet then goes leave village using the bus, Nengkabau and friends catch the bus Butet climb up, as if they reject departure Butet from village that (Rabinow, 2016). Butet also feels very heavy for go from village that. Butet goes home to the house to meet mother her.
While in town, Butet was invited to the talk show for Becomes speaker. He speaks about what just happens in the village jungle.
Jungle people actually no need us, them no need anything from the world of light. But now they pressed for following in current development this. The village already the more near for making they are target market, bring change new in their world (Achrol & Kotler, 2012) Even bring phenomenon disease new.
jungle people face reality new and of course also reasonable for apart from they tempted for more often go out from the jungle." Say Butet on a talk show.
Then Butet presents to important people in an office, he says “I won’t come back and keep going teach the children in the interior jungle, give they opportunity no only for study read, write or count (Kozol, 2012). But also for face life, a school defense life that also introduces advocacy to services and rights them. We want to build our school or "Sokola"
in the language of the jungle people (Mulatsih
& Aurora, 2021). We want to build it for them and also for children from other marginalized communities in Indonesia. Because education is important is education that makes them ready for face pressure change."
Going to end the story in the film, some month then Butet return comes to Rimba village, it turns out there already there are relatives Butet. She does not think that her relatives support her wish for the back (Winnicott, 2018). Arriving at the settlement new population of ethnic Rimba group all- around downstream River Mekakal and see the Rimba people who are gathered with the criminal’s forest. Then with strong brave
532
Nyungsang Bungo reads and gives rejection to what's in the letter of agreement (Mailloux, 2018). Interpretive conventions. Cornell University Press. Those people were very surprised because look Nyungsang Bungo, sonof the jungle now has a smart read. Nyungsang Bungo with the Tumenggung reject articles that are considered not by customs and habits, especially destructive things Forest they are home to them.
DISCUSSION
Butet is figuring the main story in the film " Sokola Rimba" which has very high social sensitivity related to education as well as social welfare in the interior specifically to the Rimba people (Setiawan, et al, 2020). In the movie figure, Butet is played by Prisia Nasution. His concern for the education and welfare of the Rimba people make her willing to live in the forest several times only they could read, write as well as count (Rudolph, F.
2021). Own high sincerity in teach children jungle appear moment scene Butet and dr.
Astrid in minutes to 24.50 in that scene dr.
Astrid asked Butet, what the reason teaching in the middle forest. whereas Butet that comes from The capital city of Jakarta can just get more work and life comfortable and live with all-sufficiency. dr. Astrid says “I mean people like you have a lot of opportunity work on the spot another. Why did you choose here?” with relaxed Butet replied " Actually " After graduating from college, I confused want to do what. At that time there is Conservation Foundation jobs Winaraya, interesting once. I think this can so a very exotic adventurer.
Teaching in the jungle, is interesting isn't it?"
Based on quote conversation that, proves that Butet owns sincerity high heart
(Astuti, 2015). Sincerity, as well as sincerity a Butet bear fruit sweet, that, succeeds make Rimba childrens for reading, writing as well as count. Although only basics from education only, it means a lot for children that (Bostrom, 2020). Taking the opportunity for teaching in Rimba is an experience precious experienced by Butet in his life. Though at first Butet planned for is at Wanaraya During a two-year course. However, Butet sees and feels something comfortable moment is at as well as teaches there. Butet truly finds something different is there during her life. Reflection attitude, as well as Butet ‘s decision, is a description of extraordinary humanity ordinary. Teaching in the jungle for interest and progress Rimba children. Comfort in teaching in the jungle as she stated no so solely means Butet happy without existence problem. She several times faced challenges as well as an occasional threat that could endanger her life (Joy, 2020). This thing illustrated the start moment he fainted in the middle Forest because got malaria, got shotgun wind by villain forest, even danger that comes from Rimba people when they no like and don't could accept presence Butet for a number of the reason certain.
533
Other things depicted from the movie“Sokola Rimba” are about struggle. Operate mission humanity more related with Education (Sheridan, 2016). Crossed in mind that never mind teach ethnic Rimba group interior, teach public city with all convenience just it's been very difficult (Love, 2019). Struggle a Butet deserves to be appreciated. Another moral message that exists in the movie is every person must give attention and help to others.
Every human is required to own social sensitivity to ensure more life worth (Brinkmann, 2014).
CONCLUSION
The whole movie “Sokola Rimba” is a description of education fighters in the Jungle Village (Manurung, 2012). This movie is an Educational and humanitarian film which at its core is give education to people in the Rimba interior. From the start until the end story, will serve plot story figure Butet as warrior education in teaching in the jungle.
Furthermore, by In general, the film " Sokola Rimba" also tells the story of about first struggles Rimba children as figures Nyungsang Bungo, Beindah, and Nengkabau no only Butet course. Struggle they in-demand knowledge so that the fool that happened to them and the Rimba people other not occur again, and fight to throw people away known who want rob Forest them. Second, based on results analysis could declare that not only limited entertainment film works only, but also works that can give reflection and reference
related implementation teaching program activities in villages that can be realized in schools remote need power teacher. Because society with the background behind very less education sufficient and very necessary accompaniment from other society more able.
Accompaniment can also be given through supplies understandings that are useful application by straight away (Musasia, et al, 2012).
