NYFF Review - 'The Inspection' Unearths Empathy in the Trenches of Bootcamp
The film exhibits a respect for the craft and an empathy for human tribulations that have historically been ignored.

One afternoon, the public was shocked by the news of the discovery of the grave of Adolf Hitler, a Nazi leader, at the Ngagel cemetery, Surabaya. Mitro (40), a grave guard was interviewed by TV journalists regarding the discovery. Mitro answered simply because he didn't know about Hitler. Mitro is considered an artist by his family and neighbors, not a few of whom want to take selfies with Mitro. One day, his wife said that she really wanted to go on holiday. Mitro, whose life is barely possible, is only promising. He then got the idea to create a paid ride at the tomb. Visitors can enter the cloth booths that surround the tomb and take photos with Hitler inside, with Mitro dressed up as Hitler. He then found out who Hitler was via the internet.
