West Papua documentary (Part 1) - never screened outside UK THE AUSTRALIAN AND INDONESIAN GOVERNMENTS DO NOT WANT YOU TO SEE THIS DOCUMENTARY This is part 1 of an excellent and rare TV documentary about West Papua. A year on from its original UK screening it still has not been broadcast in any other country. In 2006 reporter Evan Williams gained access, on a tourist visa, to West Papua - a country to which journalists and foreign observers are flatly refused entry by the Indonesian government. After three weeks dodging Indonesian officials and police to gather interviews and information, he filed this report for Channel 4's "Unreported World" series. Part 1 (9'28"): • We meet a group of tribal elders, some of whom have travelled for days, who congregate especially to tell the world media about widespread incidents of Indonesian killing and brutality in their native villages. • The pretext for Evan Williams' visit to West Papua is the Wamena Festival, at which the local governor's speech proclaims Indonesia as "the ultimate in diversity". But for the locals, overrun by Indonesian oppression and largely outnumbered by subsidised Indonesian immigrants, is it diversity or occupation? • Williams meets a man whose parents and friends were killed by the Indonesians and who has been fleeing the army, hiding out, for five years. He is led to a village in which the locals are mourning the deaths of relatives killed or missing since the March 2006 protests.

George Telek - West Papua Telek is a legendary singer in Papua New Guinea. "West Papua" expresses a yearning for his countrymen west of the New Guinea border to be free from Indonesian rule. West Papua is occupied by Indonesia solely on the basis of a sham "election" held in 1969, laughingly called the Act of Free Choice, in which a small representation of the total indigenous West Papuan population were threatened to have their tongues cut out if they did not vote for Indonesian sovereignty. This scandal was actually approved by the UN, who all these years later refuse to take any steps at all to rectify their grave mistake. The West Papuan people have been living under a regime of Indonesian oppression and genocide for more than 40 years, and it is only now that the world is taking notice. This recording was produced by David Bridie. Footage taken from "Land of the Morning Star" by Mark Worth. This video (plus many others) appears on the new CD/DVD re-release of "Tabaran" by Not Drowning, Waving.

Papua: Indonesia's silent war - 29 May 2008 Indonesia's eastern-most province of Papua is rich in natural resources, but its people remain the poorest in the country. For decades Papua was the scene of a low-level independence struggle, but years after the fighting ended, tens of thousands of Indonesian soldiers remain deployed in the province. Al Jazeera correspondent Step Vaessen reports from a region where many residents still live in a state of fear. Tags: indonesia papua independence step vaessen aljazeera |

The Last Cannibals - Papua New Guinea July 2006 We journey deep into the heart of West Papua to track down perhaps the last remaining cannibals in the world. The Korowai have lived by the same customs for 10,000 years. "It's normal. I don't feel sad or anything", states one tribesman, describing how he killed and ate his friend. The Korowai believe that deaths are caused by evil spirits. When a person dies, a frightening witch-hunt begins to find the person possessed and kill and eat him. Even children are vulnerable. A six-year-old boy has fallen under suspicion because his parents died suddenly. His uncle fears the boy will be killed when he reaches puberty. "The chances he'll survive are pretty small", states remote tribes expert Paul Raffaele. His only hope is that civilisation catches up with the Korowai in time to save him.

Saving Kokoda - Papua New Guinea December 2006 Until recently, few people took up the challenge of walking the Kokoda Trail in PNG. But a spate of books popularising the trek has inspired thousands. Can the track survive its newfound popularity? The Kokoda Trail was the site of a major battle in WWII. With numerous books now publicising Kokoda as the 'Forgotten Gallipoli', numerous tourists are flocking to the site. Elders are grateful for the revenue trekkers bring to the area. As Saii Faole says; "We are happy." But villagers often find their meagre facilities overwhelmed by the hordes of tourists. Tags: PNG Papua New Guinea Saving kokoda trail |

Huli Wigmen - Papua New Guinea March 2006 The PNG Huli men are said to be the fiercest warriors in the world. But they have a surprising soft side -- an obsession with hair. Boys spend years constructing elaborate wigs. "It is very important for a young Huli boy to have a wig. That's why the boys go to wig school", explains Huli Harold Hayake. To grow strong, healthy hair, the young men live together in a monastic lifestyle under the guidance of a wig master. Only after their wig is ready can they marry.

Wild Boards - Papua New Guinea Feb 2007 Before they step foot in the water, members of the Sunset Surf Club in PNG have to make their own boards. It's the only place in the world where the surfboards come straight from the jungle. "We didn't have enough boards for all the kids so they started cutting up trees to make surfboards themselves", recalls club founder Stephen Tekwei. The perfect board requires the right tree, known locally as a Tapa. It takes just a few hours to carve a surfboard but it's not ready to surf until traditional village markings are applied.

West Papua - Papua New Guinea Nov 2003 The Baliem Valley in the highlands of West Papua remains one of the remotest corners of the planet. Sealed off from the world by its geography and more recently by the Indonesian government. The latest phase of an Indonesian military campaign to eradicate the Papuan independence movement and its armed wing the OPM, is being fought against the highlanders. Around 5,000 people have been driven away from their villages into the bush, many have been killed. We profile events with film smuggled out from this remote Pacific warzone.

Papua Irian Jaya is a land of contrast, with some of the most impenetrable jungles in the world and snowcapped mountain peaks towering over glacial lakes. Irian Jaya is Indonesia's largest and easternmost province and covers the western half of the world's second largest island. It is a land of exceptional natural grandeur, with beautiful scenic beaches, immense stretches of marshlands, cool grassy meadows and powerful rivers carving gorges through dense primeval forests. The most heavily populated and cultivated parts of the islands are the Pantai Lakes district and Beliem Valley to the east. The people of the island can be divided into more than 250 sub-groups, including the Marind-anim, Yah'ray, Asmat, Mandobo, Dani and Afyat. Those in the central highlands still maintain their customs and traditions, virtually untouched by outside influences. The different tribes have lived, for the most part, in isolation even from one another, resulting in an incredibly diverse mixture of cultures. The coastal regions of Irian Jaya, however, were visited as early as the 7th century by traders from Sriwijaya. European traders looking for species began arriving in the early 16th century, and have left historical footprints in the area with names such as Bougainvillea, Cape d'Urville and the Torres Straits. It was the Dutch who made the most lasting impact on the island, when in 1828 they formally made Irian a Dutch Territory, which it remained until 1962. The Provincial capital of Jayapura is situated on hills which overlook the sea, and is accessible by boat and plane. It was here that General MacArthur assembled his fleet for the invasion of the Philippines during the Second World War. Regular flights to other major parts of the archipelago are available with Garuda and Merpati Nusantara Airlines. Tags: papua kbritokyo kbri embassy indonesia |

Free West Papua - Declaration at UK Parliament 15/10/2008 This is a short report about the launch of an international parliamentarian commission in support of the West Papuan Independence Movement. In 1963, in violation of international law, Indonesia occupied and colonised the West Papuan homeland in the western part of New Guinea. Since that tragic event the West Papuans are asking for a fair referendum about their independence. Now they won the official support from the British politicians Andrew Smith (MP from Oxford) and Lord Harris. They decided to set up an international lobbying network to promote the West Papuan Independence Movement.

West Papua: Birthday of a Nation in Exile It is illegal for West Papuans to celebrate their own national day. The Indonesian army suppresses all efforts for justice and peace in occupied West Papua and has killed 100.000 or more West Papuans. Benny Wenda and United Kingdom supporters celebrate the National Day with the raising of the Flag at the Oxford Town hall, and continue to demonstrate for justice in front of the Indonesian Embassy in London, and at the Headquarters of British Companies Rio Tinto and BP. British Citizens voice their opinion on the human rights situation in West Papua. http://www.freewestpapua.org Tags: West Papua Benny Wenda Freedom Genocide Indonesia Crime against Humanity Demonstration London Oxford Town Hall UK |
