One of the most famous films ever made in Indonesia, tells the epic story of the Indonesian national heroine,
Tjoet Nja' Dhien, who led a band of guerrillas fighting against Dutch colonial forces in the mountains of Aceh in Sumatra in the early twentieth century.

Despite a series of besetting intrigues caused by changing loyalties among Acehnese chiefs, some of whom were persuaded to side with the colonisers, for six years Tjoet and her group evaded and harassed Dutch forces sent out to capture them, her charismatic presence and her powers of survival stirring the local people to continue opposition to the Dutch.

Tjoet Nja Dhien was the wife, chief strategist and political mentor of the rebel leader Teuku Umar in the strongly Islamic Aceh region in the north of Sumatra island.

After her husband's death in a Dutch ambush in February 1899, Tjoet Nja' Dhien took over leadership of the band of guerrillas.

This compelling portrait of Tjoet Nja' Dhien provides insight into Indonesian colonial history, emphasising the historical importance of Islam in the resistance to Western colonialism in Indonesia, and the right to survival of indigenous cultures.

This story of a woman as a charismatic rebel leader in a colonial war, and of her daughter, who continued her mother's struggle, exemplifies a politics of cinema that challenges the more stereotyped portraits of women in film in Indonesia.
