TDR FILMS documented the doctoral promotion exam of Ratu Ulfiati at the Faculty of Engineering, University of Indonesia—a pivotal academic moment with high-level intellectual rigor. Her dissertation dives deep into the complexities of the mining and oil & gas industries, unpacking the capitalist structures that drive them. With a sharp critical lens, she explored how resource extraction intersects with economic power, environmental concerns, and national policy.

Our approach was to capture the gravity of the occasion while reflecting the boldness of her research. TDR FILMS focused on creating a clean, professional visual narrative that emphasized both academic prestige and the broader societal relevance of her work. This wasn’t just about earning a title—it was about challenging systems, presenting data-backed truths, and elevating a conversation that affects nations, industries, and ecosystems.
