In order to persuade viewers to embrace a particular viewpoint on the subject of environmental sustainability, environmental documentaries employ persuasive communication techniques. This presentation examines the diverse environmental narratives portrayed in six Indonesian documentaries: Semesta (2020), Our Mother’s Land (2020), Plastic Island (2021), Tenggelam dalam Diam (2021), Mutualisme (2021), and Saat Orang Baik (Tidak) Diam: Build Back Better and Sustainable (2023). These films present a plurality of environmental narratives, utilizing distinct strategic techniques to engage audiences. Many of them foreground grassroots movements and emphasize the role of marginalized or 'small' actors in local environmental activism, often employing the David vs. Goliath archetype to highlight struggles against powerful entities. Other documentaries focus on delivering consequential messages through the use of carefully chosen strategic narrators, illustrating the broad spectrum of narrative approaches in the portrayal of Indonesia's environmental challenges. This presentation will critically analyze how these films shape public discourse on sustainability and environmental resilience.
