The film follows five indigenous people as forests are cleared for plantations\, food-estate programs\, and other industrial projects. It explores concerns about environmental damage\, loss of traditional livelihoods\, and threats to Indigenous culture. The filmmakers argue that these developments resemble a modern form of colonialism because local communities often have limited control over decisions affecting their land. Overall\, the documentary raises questions about the balance between economic development and the rights of Indigenous peoples. The screening will be followed by Q&A with defenders from West Papua. \n\n\n\nThis event is presented by Peace Bridges International \n\n\n\nHuman rights defenders are at the heart of all we do at Peace Bridges International.  We provide protection\, support and recognition to local human rights defenders who work in areas of repression and conflict and have requested our support.  We believe that lasting transformation of conflicts cannot come from outside\, but must be based on the capacity and desires of local people. We avoid imposing\, interfering or getting directly involved in the work of the people we accompany. Our work is effective because we take an integrated approach\, combining a presence alongside human rights defenders on the ground with an extensive network of international support. \n\n\n\nFounded in 1981\, Peace Bridges International I has many years of experience working alongside human rights defenders\, opening and protecting space for peace\, conflict transformation and the defence of human rights in 14 countries. We are a life-saving international presence in areas of conflict and repression\, and a powerful global advocacy network protecting those on the ground. We have worked in Nicaragua\, El Salvador\, Sri Lanka\, North America\, Haiti\, Nepal and the Balkans as well as our current field projects in Colombia\, Guatemala\, Honduras\, Indonesia\, Kenya\, Mexico and Nepal. \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nOrganisations Involved / Partner Organisation(s):\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue Information:
