Synopsis
Hopes for free and fair elections in Aceh were dimmed by the prospect of holding them under martial law. While some areas were considered safe by the time the elections came around, many others were not. The film follows the efforts of an ulama Tengku Baihaqi to win a seat in the DPRD. Campaigning is difficult. Many candidates are frightened of campaigning openly, afraid of becoming a target for those who want to disrupt the election process. The filmmakers journey with the ulama as he tries to spread his campaign message, and appeals to the voters to go to the polls.
