Abstract

This study aims to describe the forms of conflict, women’s empowerment, and strategies for managing region-based social heterogeneity in the film “Batas” [The Boundary]. This research employs a constructivist approach with Semiotic Media Text Analysis [SMTA]. It is a qualitative descriptive study with data analysis units encompassing reality, ideology exploration, and concept formulation. The validity of this research is ensured through source triangulation and investigation triangulation techniques. The findings reveal [1] conflicts arising from cultural, linguistic, economic, and educational disparities, [2] women’s ability to manage regions by utilizing domestic and public competencies, and [3] strategies for managing heterogeneity involving physical, economic, and decision-making competencies. Through the film “Batas,” there is an internalization of women’s power in resolving social inclusion conflicts on equality.
