A forgotten Piece of Indonesia’s May 1998 Tragedy, for Sale:
In the late 90s, my father often used his office VHS handy-cam to record our family events. Birthdays, daily lives, or even a funeral. Resulted in 8 VHS tapes, that we watch together during the Chinese new year.
Time goes by, my father’s office didn’t use the handy-cam anymore and we didn’t have a VHS player at home. So the tapes were just kept in a box until I found them again in 2018.
Curious about what’s inside the tapes, I went to convert the VHS tapes into digital format. When I got the footage I was shocked. Out of 8 tapes, 1 of them is a 31 minutes recording of a TV playing local and international news about Indonesia’s May 1998 tragedy, recorded on 14-15 May 1998.
On May 2021, I watched and edited the video. The clips are only edited for upsizing to 1920x1080 px.
23 years later after never ever got seen by anyone beside my family, I am selling these curated forgotten pieces of Indonesian history.
About the May 1998 tragedy in Indonesia: back in May 1998 there were incidents of mass violence, riots, and civil unrest of a racial issue triggered by economic problems including food shortages and mass unemployment that occurred throughout Indonesia. The main targets of the violence were people of Chinese ethnicity although they are also Indonesians, but most of the casualties were caused by a massive fire and occurred among looters.
