00:00Hello, everyone. My name is Kut Nyak Dien. I was born in Lampadang, Aceh, in 1848.
00:09I was a female military leader and national heroine who dedicated my life to fighting Dutch imperialism during the long
00:16and brutal Aceh War.
00:18After the death of my beloved husband, Tukumar, I took command of our guerrilla forces in the thick jungles of
00:25Aceh.
00:26Even in my old age, when I suffered from severe myopia and arthritis, I refused to surrender.
00:33My deep faith and devotion to my homeland kept me fighting until my capture, proving that women play a crucial
00:40role in the struggle for freedom.
