If you like this film, let us know!

Panggilan Darah (Indonesian for "Call of Blood") is a 1941 film from the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia) directed by Sutan Usman Karim and produced by Tjho Seng Han for Oriental Film. The black-and-white film, now considered lost, starred Dhalia and Soerip. It followed orphaned sisters as they tried to make a living in the colonial capital of Batavia (now Jakarta). Panggilan Darah was a fair commercial success and saw screenings both in the Indies and Singapore, but Oriental was unable to recoup its losses and merged into another company soon afterwards.

Synopsis

Orphaned sisters Dhalia and Soerip (themselves) leave their village in an attempt to make a living in the colonial capital of Batavia (now Jakarta). After a long period of misery, they are accepted as housemaids at the home of Hajji Ishak (Mochtar Widjaja). Although initially elated, they find that Iskak's wife (Wolly Sutinah) is a cruel mistress who often beats them. Meanwhile, Ishak's would-be-son-in-law is constantly flirting with Dhalia, much to his fiancée's dismay.
