SBS Educational Video : Arrows in the Wind

Abstract

This is the story of the people of West Papua and their struggle under Indonesian leadership. Due to constant Indonesian migration under the "Transmigration Policy", the rate of deforestation has increased dramatically to make way for further housing developments. This is the story of a unique culture, their way of life, and their fight to upkeep their customs and traditions amidst changes threatening their simple existence, which for many years, have worked in harmony with the environment.
