Abstract

Film as a mass media has the power to reach all social segments so that it has the potential to influence the public. Including to change people's views regarding victims of sexual abuse, especially children. Sexual abuse that occurs in children must of course receive special attention from the government and society. Unfortunately, there are still many people who still do not understand how to respond to sexual abuse that occurs in the surrounding environment. This is what was then raised into the movie Hope. The purpose of this study is to describe and represent cases of child sexual abuse raised in the film Hope. This research uses qualitative research methods using John Fiske's Semiotics theory by analyzing the Hope film through the levels of Reality, Representation and Ideology so as to convey the deep meaning in this Hope film. The results of this study show that Hope can represent child sexual abuse very well so that messages about sexual abuse in the film can be conveyed to the audience and there are ideologies about Victim Blaming and Gender Injustice.
