In partnership with Transparency International Indonesia (TII), MSI's USAID-funded Strengthening Integrity and Accountability Program (SIAP-1) project provides prevention support to The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), which leads the country's fight against corruption. TII conducted a competition for anti-corruption story ideas in mid-2011. SIAP-1 then worked with KPK to align the movie's messages with broader government efforts and encouraged leading moviemakers and actors to engage in the process.
