Di Timur Matahari (phrasal translation: To The East of the Morning Sun) is a 2012 Indonesian film directed by Ari "Ale" Sihasale and starring Laura Basuki and Lukman Sardi.

Shot in Tioh, Lanny Jaya, Papua, over a period of one month, it follows young Papuan children as they struggle to learn despite an ongoing tribal war.

[3] Ale later stated that he intended the film to help viewers better understand Papua and peace,[5] and, at a press conference, said that the education problem was now national.

[1] Shooting took over a month, and as the mountainous regency was very isolated, the 50 cast and crew members underwent hardship caused by the lack of facilities.

Star Laura Basuki, in an interview with the Jakarta Globe, recalled that she bathed only once a week and had to use 5 to 10 bottles of mineral water to wash her hair; she also reported that there were only two bathrooms for everyone to share.
