1. Three Constitutional Law Experts

"If you watch this film, I have a simple message. Or please use this film as a basis for your punishment," said Zainal Arifin Mochtar when opening this documentary.
"I want to be involved in this film because many people will understand that extraordinary fraud has indeed occurred. So this election cannot be considered good," said Bivitri Susanti.
"Apart from being invited by figures I respect. Of course, this film is thought to be able to educate the public about how fraudulent our elections are and how politicians have played with the voting public just to win their interests," said Feri.
The three of them revealed that various instruments of power had been used for the purpose of winning elections and destroying the democratic order.
The use of strong power infrastructure is shamelessly displayed nakedly in order to maintain the status quo. The forms of fraud are explained by analyzing constitutional law.
2. Become a Trending Topic

It was observed that many public figures also commented on the film Dirty Vote. Most expressed their appreciation for the presence of this documentary film, but quite a few also said that this film was only intended to bring down one particular candidate pair.
Because it was trending, many netizens who hadn't watched it became even more curious and interested in watching it immediately.
3. Director
This explanatory documentary film was directed by Dandhy Dwi Laksono. He is a former journalist who often provides investigative reporting. Apart from frequently criticizing government policies through films, Dandhy is also known to be quite active in voicing his criticism through social media.
Dirty Vote is the fourth film he has directed to take advantage of the election momentum.
In 2014, Dandhy, through the WatchDoc production house, launched the seventh film. Then in 2017, before the DKI Jakarta Pilkada, Dandhy also directed the film Jakarta Unfair.
Dandhy also made the film Sexy Killers in 2019 during the quiet period of the 2019 elections. The number of viewers for the film reached 20 million viewers. Sexy Killers exposed the oligarchic network in the two candidate pairs competing at that time, Jokowi-Ma'ruf Amin and Prabowo Subianto-Sandiaga Uno.
4. What was said in the Dirty Vote
In a duration of 1 hour 57 minutes, 3 constitutional law experts conveyed clearly various things related to the design of fraud found in the 2024 Election. Starting from President Jokowi's different statements regarding the entry of his children into politics, the non-neutrality of public officials, authority and potential for fraud by village heads, budget and distribution of social assistance, use of public facilities, and ethical violations in state institutions.
"All of these plans were not designed overnight, nor were they designed alone. Most of the systematic and massive structured fraud plans to manipulate the election were actually prepared together. They are forces that have been in power together for the last 10 years," said Feri Amsari.
"Political competition and power struggles, this fraudulent design that was prepared together ultimately fell into the hands of one party. Namely the party who currently holds the key to power, where he can move the apparatus and budget," said Zainal Arifin Mochtar.
"But actually this is not a very grand plan or design. Scenarios like this have been carried out by previous regimes in many countries and throughout history. Therefore, to organize and carry out a dirty scenario like this you don't need intelligence or intelligence, all you need is 2 , mentally deceitful and tolerant of shame," concluded Bivitri Susanti
