native political council, vocally opposing the Dutch colonial presence in the Indies.[3]

Rustam began his involvement with the local film industry during the 1940s, writing novelisations of films by

Sofia WD.[5][7] His last work in the film industry, a script entitled Terang Bulan (Full Moon), was filmed in 1950 and directed by Mustadjab. Starring Sofia and Rd Mochtar, the production followed two lovers separated by crime, war, and family who are ultimately able to reunite.[7]

By the 1950s, after Indonesia's independence was recognised, Rustam had become mostly a literary documentarian, although he continued to publish some works on the subject.[2] He also wrote on the nation's politics and recorded a version of the folktale Lutung Kasarung.[4] He died in 1971 after several years of ill health.[1]
