The film begins by explaining the interdependent relationship between the Mooi people of West Papua and their forest lands.
It introduces logging company activity with dramatic and daringly "stolen footage" of recent logging activity, demonstrating the impact of logging on Mooi lands.
It goes on to employ powerful visual evidence to show how timber alone is not enough for the company involved, revealing for the first time how huge areas of Mooi forests are being stripped bare for a new palm oil plantation. The question is also asked whether this clearance really began illegally before any required licence to do so was issued in 2006.
In an interview with Yohanis Giffelem, SH, MM., head of the Mooi People's Institute in Sorong, the film testifies to the impacts the bulldozers are having on Mooi traditional livelihoods, and how the activities of the company central to the story -- the Kayu Lapis Indonesia Group - mean the Mooi people's very future is at risk.

  • My advice: don't buy any product made out of palmoil.

    The four companies; Unilever, Kraft, Nestlé and Procter & Gamble are the ones who use the biggest percentage of the worlds palmoil, and specially Indonesian palmoil.

    Boycot there products made out of palmoil !

    And of course don't use any ilegal tropical wood.
