Rebels of the Forgotten World is filmed in the tropical forests of West Papua, in the western half of the island of New Guinea. It looks at the armed tribal opposition by guerrilla leaders of the Free West Papua Movement (OPM) to Indonesia's controversial transmigration project, which involves relocating thousands of peasants from the overpopulated islands of Java and Bali to West Papua. Forests Arrows Against the Wind ( English / 53 min. ) Country : Australia Production Co. : Land Beyond Productions Producer/ Director : Tracey Groome Known as 'The Amazon of Asia', West Papua occupies the western half of the largest island in Asia-Pacific region and is home to some of the world's most ancient cultures. But in 1963, when the Dutch colonists finally left, Indonesia seized control of the territory, declared West Papua its 26th province, and launched a controversial transmigration policy to move Indonesians into West Papua. Outlawing cultural individualism, the Indonesian government instead promotes the forced assimilation of indigenous groups to make "one kind of mankind" and ruthlessly suppresses any opposition. The result is that the 70,000 Asmat people who inhabit the world's largest alluvial swampland have had their territory confiscated by the state, while the 200,000 strong Dani people face extinction as the government presses ahead with road development.
