Miss. Mrs.?

In Jakarta, women have easy access to glossy magazines, designer labels-or the latest cosmetics. But finding a non-judgemental ob/gyn is not easy. This film follows the quest of single and unmarried women in getting the right treatment for their reproductive health. Most get unfriendly gestures from the hospital nurses and doctors. When an unmarried woman wants to find the right contraception, she gets disapproval from nurses and doctors and is lectured on morality instead. The film questions the importance of health versus moral judgment.

AT STAKE/PERTARUHAN was officially selected for the Berlin International Film Festival at the Panorama Section in 2009. It was the first Indonesian documentary ever to be selected at the Berlinale. It was also screened at the Jakarta International Film Festival, the Hong Kong International Film Festival, and the Freedom Film Festival in Malaysia.

A roadshow of AT STAKE/PERTARUHAN was organised in cities such as Bogor, Cirebon, Yogyakarta, Malang, Batam, Lampung, Bengkulu, Bali, Pontianak, Jambi, Aceh, and Makassar. "At Stake" was also the opening film during 2009's Freedom Film Fest in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. If you are a film community or organization who wants to conduct a screening this movie, please contact Sandy Monteiro.
