Uitzenddatum: Jun 30, 2015

Where is Indonesia headed? Indonesia is one of Australia's closest neighbours, but how well do we, as people, understand each other? Political tussles over boats carrying asylum seekers and the recent execution of Bali 9 drug smugglers, Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran, have strained the bilateral relationship both politically and on an interpersonal level. In this special episode, Insight brings you the view from Indonesia. Filmed at Metro TV in Jakarta, the program brings together a diverse group of Indonesians to share their views on the death penalty, asylum seekers and the broader Indo-Australia relationship. The discussion also explores the leadership of President Joko Widodo, popularly known as 'Jokowi'. July marks one year since he won office with 53 per cent of the vote - how do Indonesians rate his performance? And what vision is Jokowi building for his country?
