The Borneo Project
An Iban Dayak community in Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo describes ten years of struggle to protect ancestral rainforests, using letter writing, blockades, community mapping and legal action against Borneo Pulp and Paper and the Sarawak government. They won a landmark court victory in 2001, which is now threatened in the Federal Court of Appeal. It was produced and filmed by 'The Borneo Project', an activist group located in Sarawak. Basically the video details a longhouse community inSarawak and the government taking their land.
This is also a good example of the language I am studying- while it is Malaysian, many, many of the words are the same in Indonesian.
