Part of the "Our Planet" Short Film Program, starting Friday (April 3) at 6pm, with discussion starting at 7:30pm.

In the forests of Borneo, a native community struggles to protect its ancestral homeland from industries poised to destroy one of the Earth’s oldest and most biodiverse rainforests. This film offers a glimpse into the lives of those most at risk, the Dayak "people of the forest," who for millennia have relied on the forests for everything. Their close bond with nature is being threatened as they watch the forest disappear.
