This study examines the representation of oligarchic practices in the documentary Pesta Oligarki produced by Watchdoc Documentary, applying Charles Sanders Peirce’s semiotic approach. Using a descriptive qualitative method, the analysis focuses on six central scenes that portray the dominance of political and economic elites in the 2024 election context. These scenes illustrate practices such as land evictions, party control over legislation, political image-building, state repression, restrictions on presidential candidacy, and the co-optation of opposition groups. The findings reveal that visual symbols in the film are deliberately used to criticize procedural democracy that has been manipulated by oligarchic powers. Thus, Pesta Oligarki functions not only as a documentary presenting social realities but also as a tool of social criticism and political education, encouraging the public to critically examine unfair power practices that undermine democracy.
