Abstract

This article discusses the role of the film Sokola Rimba as a means of character education for the younger generation. The film inspires its audience to appreciate nature and strengthen integrity. In a fast-paced and individualistic era, character education is increasingly important in shaping an ethical personality. The cultivation of character values in this film is relevant because it reflects the beauty of nature and the urgency of its preservation. The audience is invited to reflect on social responsibility towards the environment. The interaction between characters shows the importance of integrity in dealing with complex situations. This paper explores how the moral and ethical messages in the film shape the attitudes of the younger generation. The film becomes a source of inspiration and learning for them, encouraging them to care for the environment and act with integrity. Through research of relevant film elements, this article presents a strong argument on the importance of audiovisual media as a tool to spread positive values to the younger generation. This article is expected to provide new insights into the role of film in shaping the character and environmental awareness of future generations.
