Resia Boroboedoer Secret of Borobudur is a 1929 adventure film produced by Nancing Film Corp. Starring Chinese actress Olive Young, it followed a young woman on her quest to find Gautama Buddhas ashes in the temple of Borobudur. The expenses of the film, which was critically panned, led to the collapse of its studio.

In the temple, Young finds a doorway leading down. However, she collapses after poisonous gas leaks out of the room. Gandha rescues her and reveals that she owed a life debt to Youngs father, Lun Fah, who had rescued her from a bandit thirty years previously. Gandha had also given Lun Fah the book. Young decides to abandon her search for the ashes, and instead leads an ascetic life as a guard to the temple with Gandha.Resia Borobudur was produced by the newly established Nancing Film Corp in 1928. It was the second film produced by Chinese conglomerates in the Indies, after Lily van Java 1928, and the first to be directly targeted at ethnic Chinese. The film was silent and shot in black and white. ........
