Learning on ScreenPapua Medeka! - Free Papua
- Synopsis
- Documents the destruction of the land and people in the Indonesian colony of West Papua / Irian Jaya, and their independence struggle . The native people of West Papua are being obliterated by a repressive Indonesian military campaign, large scale multi-national exploitation of natural resources and a massive Canadian sponsored transmigration programme, with estimates of 150,000 Papuans killed by the Indonesian regime. Includes interviews with refugees, resistance leaders and former Indonesian political prisoners. Within years the 50,000 year old Papuan culture is threatened with extermination. A twenty-five year old liberation movement, the Organisasi Papua Merdeka (OPM), has fought to preserve one of the last of the Earth’s giant rainforests from complete annihilation.
