The film is one form of propaganda. The focus of this research is “Blindfold” Film by Garin Nugroho. This film aimed as anti-violent and anti-radicalism propaganda. The film tells about the radicals who indoctrinate to form a new country. There are three characters with different backgrounds that provide a variety of stories, but apparently with the same goal, which is to find a way out. This study aims to describe the problems raised in this film in the philosophy of language paradigm. This study uses a qualitative approach with three methods: verstehen, language analytics, and logic. The verstehen method serves as a tool to readily understand radical concepts as alternative characters; jihad, in this case, becomes possible as a solution. The concept of hijrah analytically does not qualify as a hijrah. Logically, the reason for the formation of NII and the concept of Ulil Amri showed a thought fallacy. Thus, the results of studies on radicalism in this film illustrate empty hopes.
