Even Soe's best friends, Tan Tjin Han and Herman Lantang posed the question 'What is all this fighting for?' which Soe would calmly respond with his awareness that freedom has a price tag that must be paid. This passion was frequently misunderstood by others. Combined with a fighter's passion, faithfulness to friends, and a heart filled with genuine care for others and for his country, young Gie grew to become intolerant with injustice, and dreamt of an Indonesia that is truly founded on justice, equality, and righteousness. In his early teens, young Gie had developed a fascination in concepts and idealisms advocated by world class intellectuals. Soe Hok Gie grew up in a lower-middle class Chinese Indonesian family in Jakarta. The plot of this film is an interpretation of the filmmakers, and scenes portraying Soe's private life may be partly fictionalised for dramatisation. The film is based on a diary Catatan Seorang Demonstran written by Soe himself. The film tells the story of Soe Hok Gie, a graduate from University of Indonesia who is known as an activist and nature lover. Gie is a 2005 Indonesian film directed by Riri Riza.
