An Inspirational Value of
“Semangat Hidup Seorang Tuna Wicara”

“Semangat Hidup Seorang Tunawicara” is very interesting and make us so surprised. It gives us an inspirational value of life to be strong even though we have disability. This video was created by Aprilia Nur Andini. The genre of this video is a documentary video, which tells us about a strong figure of deaf person’s life. Comparing to another documentary video, this video has a good description of the figure with a very detail explanation and trusted sources.

This video represents the real life of a dump collector. In this video, we can see many difficulties faced by Tarko and how he accepts his condition sincerely. Every day, he goes to work in the early morning until the sun sets. He is responsible for his beloved wife and daughter. Even though many people insult him, he still try to do his best for his life and family. We can also see in the video other person’s comment about him. She said that sometimes, Tarko was funny and annoying because he did not always hear what people said to him. On the other hand, he was a hard worker and responsible person.

As a descriptive perspective, we can see how Aprilia created this video with a very minimalized but clear message giving. She gave the story in an appropriate setting when all of the video has set in TPS in Jakarta. This is the place where the source of this inspirational video work. Aprilia also took some sources of Tarko’s life from his friend or working pals. She also took some picture of Tarko’s deaf wife and normal daughter as a description for his family condition. The narration for the video are also quite clear to open people mind about how to be motivated from Tarko’s life with some classical music to make us easy to flow with the story.

This clear explanation from the video can give a good motivation to normal people to be more thankful of their normal condition. This video also can become a media for people to reflect on their own life. Therefore, people who watch this video can introspect themselves on what things they had got before. If this disable people can do something like what normal people can do, even better, why the normal people cannot do something same.

This video is really recommended for people who lost their motivation of life. The hope from watching this video is that many people could watch it because of the moral value inside of the video. It could be inspired by the figure of Tarko who fight for his life even if he had a disability to do his job , and it could make people aware not to make a disability as a barrier of people to do the best for their life.
