The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with in-depth observation of scenes, dialogues, and character behavior as the main data sources. The results show that the leadership style displayed in the film is transformational and humanistic, characterized by motivation, empowerment, individual attention, and active collaboration between teachers and students. This leadership has a positive impact on the development of character and enthusiasm for learning among students despite limitations. Furthermore, this leadership style is aligned with the principle of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) number 16, which emphasizes fair leadership and the ability to build trust for social and educational progress.
