Indonesia’s president has now been in power for a year but having won the election on policies to support the lower classes, the economy is struggling.

That struggle led to violent protests across the country making global headlines.

We speak to businesses, young people and families about the changes they’ve seen in the past year and discuss whether the new government can fulfil their economic pledges.

Presenter: Sam Fenwick
Producer: Hannah Mullane
