“Little Obama,” the Indonesian film based on Barack Obama’s childhood years in the Southeast Asian nation, is nearing its June 30 premiere there and opening in wide release the following day. The film, titled “Obama Anak Menteng” in Indonesian, was directed by Damien Dematra, who also wrote the novel on which the movie is based. The fictionalized account of the U.S. president’s experiences in that country, where he lived with his mother 40 years ago, stars 14-year-old Hasan Faruq Ali, who, like the young man who would become president, is an American living in Indonesia.
