(HD) PESTA BABI!! Kolonialisme di Zaman Kita

Yasinta Moiwend was shocked when, one calm July morning, a giant ship docked at her village's pier. The ship was carrying hundreds of excavators and escorted by Indonesian military troops. It was the first of 2,000 pieces of heavy equipment arriving in Papua as part of the National Strategic Project for food production, palm oil biodiesel energy, and sugarcane bioethanol. This Marind Anim woman never knew that her village would be ground zero for the largest forest conversion project in modern history. It would cover 2.5 million hectares. Vincen Kwipalo of the Yei tribe was also shocked when his clan's land was marked with a sign: "Land Belonging to the Indonesian Army." He later learned that the land was being taken for the construction of a military battalion headquarters. At the same time, he was facing a sugarcane plantation company that was also encroaching on his clan's forest. Because his customary territory was also included in the concession, Franky Woro and the Awyu community in Boven Digoel erected a traditional barrier and a giant red cross to block the company and the military. Known as the Red Cross Movement, this action has also been carried out by other tribes. At least 1,800 red crosses have been erected in South Papua. Although a religious symbol, this movement is not always favored by church elites. The documentary "Pesta Babi" documents how the Marind, Yei, Awyu, and Muyu people in southern Papua oppose palm oil biodiesel and sugarcane bioethanol projects for vehicle fuel. Alongside their stories, it also depicts issues of separatism and 60 years of Indonesian military operations related to territorial control and exploitation of Papua's natural resources. Combining detailed field footage and investigative research, Pesta Babi reveals the link between multinational bioenergy industry interests and the Indonesian government's political and development projects, disguised as "food barns" and "energy transition" during three presidential terms. The film also documents how networks of politicians, investors, the military, and the church have confronted social movements and indigenous communities. Directed by Dandhy Laksono and Cypri Dale, Pesta Babi is a record of colonial practices that occur today, without waiting to become history.
