Sakuddei, The

Synopsis
The Sakuddei live on the island of Siberut off the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia. They are a small community with their own distinctive language and social and religious life. The film draws a moving and dramatic contrast between their way of life and the pressures of modern Indonesian society on them: money, Islam, the police and administrators, the lumber companies *RAI.
