Papuan Voices
Despite decades of hostility and violence, the conflict between West Papua and Indonesia remains largely hidden from the world. Papuan Voices brings forward the everyday stories of West Papuans, not just of West Papua’s political struggle for independence, but the struggles for education, the environment, equality and dignity.

Pride of Warriors - 22minutes
Inspired by the arrival of West Papuan refugees and faced with a media blackout, an Australian filmmaker smuggled video cameras into West Papua. Shocking, revealing and empowering, these remarkable stories provide a strikingly personal insight into the West Papuan resistance.

As Australia continues to fund, train and supply the Indonesian military and police, while incarcerating West Papuan refugees in despicable offshore camps, their struggle is also our own.
