About the Film:
When giant development projects arrive in West Papua under the banners of "food security" and "energy transition", Indigenous communities face profound changes to their lands, forests, and ways of life.
Through powerful storytelling and investigative journalism, Pesta Babi follows Indigenous Papuans whose ancestral lands are being transformed by military-backed agricultural and industrial projects.
The film explores the relationships between government, corporate interests, military power, and Indigenous rights, raising urgent questions about environmental justice, human rights, and colonialism in the modern era.
About the Director:
Dandhy Dwi Laksono is one of Indonesia's most respected investigative journalists and documentary filmmakers.
His work examines democracy, human rights, environmental destruction, and the influence of political and corporate power throughout Indonesia.
