A Growing Pain 2025

Power corrupts, and ideals bleed.

Directed by M. Fatih Azka

In a city gripped by political ambition, WIDI-an idealistic mayoral candidate finds his moral compass crumbling under the weight of a brutal campaign. With his pragmatic aide GALIH by his side, their fight for justice turns into a game of manipulation, black campaigns, and masked corruption. As a relentless journalist, RAJA, uncovers the rot beneath their promises, tensions explode, morality clashes with ambition, and loyalty with betrayal. In the end, no one walks away clean. Sakit Tumbuh is a dark political drama about the price of power, the death of idealism, and the scars left behind when hope is lost to compromise.
