Date: 05/08/2020

'Nuraga' is a short film telling the personal story of Ayna, a young tenacious woman living with schizophrenia in Jakarta. The film contains the message of call for empathy from the wider public about the everyday struggle of people living with this mental illness.

The film is produced out of the collaboration between Ayna Alifia, a member of the Jakarta chapter of the Indonesian Community Care for Schizophrenia (Komunitas Peduli Skizofrenia Indonesia or KPSI), and Annisa Gifi, an undergraduate student of the Faculty of Psychology, in the Catholic University of Atma Jaya Jakarta.  

This production followed a two-day Participatory Video workshop in late October 2019 held by the Faculty of Psychology, Catholic University of Atma Jaya Jakarta and Erminia Colucci of the Faculty of Psychology, Middlesex University London, whose presence was made possible with the support of 'Together for Mental Health' project - a grant recipient from the Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) of the  Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) - as well as Studio Teknologi Pendidikan Perpustakaan of the Catholic University of Atma Jaya Jakarta.

This short film wins as the first runner up in the Projiwa Film Festival held on January 17, 2020.
