Indonesia. Such a beautiful country but with very bad leadership.
one of the most drastic democratic backsliding is happening in real time
Indonesia will pay a heavy price in the future for the large scale forest clearance and environmental destruction they are doing across the country.
Well, it just gives me more reason to watch the movie. 😮
Land invasion by Indonesia stealing honest Papua people that is criminal and no world agencies say anything.
Bribery & Corruption Must be STOPPED
It show the corruption of javanese people toward minority
Now we need a movie about American and japanese invasion of my country Philippines and the war crimes committed by american and japanese soldiers
Why are they trying to hide history? The world knows what happened in Papua. Now I am going to watch the film and I didn't even hear of it before.
My condolences to the Papua People who lost their forest after being destroyed by the Prabowo Subianto Regime which has been supported by the 3vil chinese regime 🇨🇳
Indonesia, democracy in name, dictatorship in practice. In Indonesia, religious minorities live in fear of persecution by hardliners among the Muslim majority. Christians especially bear the worst brunt.
It's the atrocity thats been going on for decades and not much widely publicized for the people to know the truth of the cruelty
may the world seek what indonesia done to Papua
Dont watch the film, lets watch football instead 😂
There are tons of public viewing event of this documenter across the nation. Only a few of them got stopped by the local authorities that are too anxious.
Indonesia in its core is a colonial cage that packed countless different cultures into the same borders for Dutch colonial interests. The colonies all were left to be a single nation. You can't just press people together into fences and expect them all to agree on giving up their land, culture, language and understanding. Indonesia has made millions of people suffer, relocate and die to protect its colonial made up borders.
Fun facts The Jakarta Bandung high-speed train suffered a huge loss, it needs a $200 million subsidy from Indonesia's state funds each year. What a success of the China BRI 🎉🎉🎉😂
For anyone watching Pesta Babi, it's worth learning about the 1969 Act of Free Choice in West Papua—often called the "Act of No Choice" by critics. Rather than a direct vote by the population, just over 1,000 selected representatives voted on behalf of hundreds of thousands of Papuans, reportedly under significant political and military pressure. The result integrated West Papua into Indonesia, but the legitimacy of the process remains disputed to this day. Understanding this history provides important context for many of the issues, perspectives, and experiences explored in documentaries about Papua.
Yeah do not watch the movie: or else you will see how corrupt we are!!
If this isn't enough to convince Indonesians that they are committing colonialism, idk what is
