His integrity and honest, traits which are foreign to many if not most Indonesian politicians further endeared him to the public both within Indonesia and internationally as he is seen as a breath of fresh air in a political system plagued with corruption and nepotism. His success and even international recognition in this position saw him leave his second term in office to pursue the position of Governor of Jakarta which he won despite being the underdog. From there he gained the support of Megawati Sukarnoputri to be elected as the two-term Mayor of Surakarta (Solo). From humble beginnings as the son of a poor Javanese carpenter, through hard study and respect and perseverance he was able to gradute from high school and university and go on to become the owner of a thriving furniture export business. This is a biographical film on the life of Joko Widodo (more commonly known as "Jokowi"), the current Governor of DKI Jakarta and the favored candidate of the Indonesian people to become the next president of the Republic of Indonesia in 2014.
