Fakta Manusia dalam Film “From The Ashes” Karya Khalid Fahad: Analisis Strukturalisme Genetika Lucien Goldmann

Abstract

This study analyzes the human facts in Khalid Fahad's film From the Ashes using Lucien Goldmann's genetic structuralism. The focus is on two forms of human facts: individual facts concerning the characters' personal experiences and social facts that reflect the social structure of the educational environment. The method is a descriptive qualitative approach that incorporates observation and note-taking. The research data were drawn from scenes and dialogues in the film that convey human values. The analysis categorized the data into individual and social facts and interpreted them through a genetic structuralist approach to clarify the relationship between the characters' experiences and the underlying social structure. The results show that individual human experiences are represented through the experiences of characters such as Amira, who endures bullying, panic, and helplessness during a fire; the emotional suffering of the victims' parents; and Rana's inner conflict and moral responsibility. Meanwhile, social humanity is reflected in the authoritarian education system, the school's normalization of bullying, and the bureaucratic attitude that prioritizes rule compliance over human safety. In the climax, the film shows how rigid regulations and power structures hinder the rescue process and exacerbate the tragedy. This study concludes that From the Ashes not only represents a humanitarian tragedy but also criticizes social structures that oppress humanitarian values. Through a genetic structuralist perspective, the film reflects society's collective consciousness and underscores the importance of empathy and change toward a more humane education system.
