Dandhy is known for directing a documentary film called Sexy Killers which was released on April 14, 2019, ahead of the ballot day of the Indonesian 2019 general election. The film sparked national debates as it revealed the ties between the presidential candidates and the coal mining industry, which causes environmental destruction and economic impact toward the impoverished classes.
