[@gervazejoseph9586]

That you are a Dayak proves most interesting and corroborates knowledge about more-than-natural history alone as Western [Christian] natural history dares to postulate as true. The name Dayak can just about be assured derives from the name and now-long forgotten great Spiritual master of considerable merit when the ancient continent of Lemuria [also known as Mu] existed, which predates the time of the ancient continent of Atlantis. Lemuria stretched across a vast area on earth -- from lands as far north and westerly as Russia and western Asia to as far south and east as what is today known as the Pacific Ocean, of which Australia in the south ocean was a part: a flat topograpy comprised most of Lemuria, typfied in the lands and geology extant in Australia; for a vast continent, indeed, was Lemuria. And, so, Dayaka was his name, a then-great spiritual master during just one time in the existence of Lemuria, and who was one of the first Initiates in the mighty Ancient Order of the Boucharan -- an order that still exists to this very day, though few are they who know of their existence or that they ever existed on earth; an order that taught humankind virtually everything that today many of the respective civilizations on earth can take for granted, but whose practices and traditions presume to sustain as part of their lives and livelihoods. Lemurians were a brown race of people the like of whom prove respresented throughout all southern Asia, Oceania, and on and into the subcontinent of India, and that of Sri Lanka, Myanmar and those areas in that part of the world. Look more into the history of the Bourcharan order, also known as the Bouchakoum, which go back into the most ancient times of earth -- hundreds of thousands of years. Earth is a most ancient orb, indeed.

[@michaelmyers3205]

As an anthropologist who works closely with Dayak and Punan peoples of Indonesian Borneo, I just want to say how much I appreciate your documentary. I find that many filmmakers are quite biased in their representations of forest-dwelling people like the Penan, essentialising them, speaking for them, representing them as primitive or unchanging. So I didn't have high hopes for the film... But I was so wrong! I was SO pleasantly surprised by this excellent piece of film-making. There are a couple of anthropological notes/critiques that are worth mentioning about the film, but by far and away on the whole, I am very impressed by your film, including both with what you went through to make the film (especially as someone who is intimately aware of how very uncomfortable trekking and sleeping in the jungle can be), and how much humility, respect, and sincerity you bring into this project. Absolutely most important of all, I appreciate how you let the people you film with speak for themselves for a good deal of the film. I can sense the rapport you've built with those that you show on screen and hope that you've managed to maintain those good relationships. Two questions: 1, do you speak the language? 2, were there counter-voices who you excluded from the film? Outstanding job. Seems like a real labor of love.

[@RaphaelTreza]

thanks a lot Michael, great to read you. 1- no i don't speak the language 2- this movie is just about those who survived the ecocide and are keeping the culture alive. best wishes

I can't speak to your craft as a film maker, as I really know nothing about it, other than to say this is visually beautiful with a compelling and emotive narrative, but watching it again I'm finding more and more things that I appreciate from an anthropological perspective about this film. I wonder how you would feel about using this film in a seminar context.... are there any specific considerations or liscensing issues that I should be aware with if I share this with students? Are there any things that you would like to share outside the context of the film? Should I just message you? Again, this is a group of people I feel very attached to and I can't begin to tell you how happy it makes me to see such a beautiful representation. Thank you for your work.

[@peterfrazer1943]

I was a Royal Marine in the sixties and went to Borneo 4 times during the Confrontation over a period of two and a half years. I can say with total truth that it was the best time of my life. I loved the Jungle, the People, the way of life and the magic of it all. We lived with the various tribes in Longhouses and learned so much. It's a very sad disaster to see everything especially Jungle and the culture being destroyed by greed. In years to come it will be seen to be the ecological mistake that changed not just the Island of Borneo but the World.

[@EcoMythos]

I hear you Peter. I lived on various islands in Indonesia for 10 years. But Borneo was especially astounding! Arent we lucky to have these memories? Though they are exquisite enough to be called "haunting" even ... It is heartbreaking what is happening. Last visit, you could see the jungle burning from the airplane for 30 minutes straight (large circles of flame). There has been a moratorium on the expansion of palm oil since 2015 but the forest will disappear anyway. Government apathy is part of it, but the people are also warrior-like in defending their rights to make a living. And how can you argue against that?? The conundrum forces one to pick sides -- people or nature??? -- a false dichotomy. I am in University now to learn more, especially about palm oil. Best from Canada!

[@ChefHilal]

Yeah, that's why your beloved bullying country, got their mafia to produce the killer oil?

[@crouqetoo2]

As an Argyll, I also served in Sarawak during the confrontation. The Penan shown in this video are so different from the Penan of the early 1960s. In the 60s the Penan did not live in shelters,nor did they wear anything but the loin cloth. they roughed it. I returned in 2008, on an all our yesterdays trip. I visited Bario, where to a certain degree the Kelabit have controlled the skullduggery of the Government.The penan around Bario have taken over a disused kelabit longhouse , I watched them come and go, still armed with their blowpipes, still hunter gatherers. I also visited the Selakit in Biawak, their longhouse was surrounded by Palm oil, there longhouse was decrepit, they obviously didn't share in the Palm Oil wealth created at the peoples loss. Where it was commonplace to see the Orang Utan and the other wildlife, the Biawak area was devoid of all that.2008.

As an Iban, I have to say the Penan tribe is truly the heart of our Borneo jungle, I’ve never seen people who lives so peacefully in the nature and respect the environment so much. Logging companies are just crazy here in Borneo, a lot of illegal trades not to mention, even the legal ones takes things to the next level. It harms their customs and traditions and I’m ashamed of the lack of awareness the people have here, because everybody seems to chase modernity but have little to none about the consequences this will have to the future of our generation and all the beings in the nature.

A well made documentary. As a Lun Bawang from the northern part of Sarawak, we always admire and respect the Penan people, they are tough and yet friendly people. Some live near my village in the mountains of Sarawak and my parents usually provide them with some necessity that are not usually found in the forest (sugar, tea etc). I remember during one of this trip, one of them, a kid of mere 12 years old, when we were about to leave their place, told us to be careful cause a heavy rain is coming and sure enough, minutes after our depature, it rain heavily. They understand the forest more than most tribes in Borneo as most of us have been modernized and we lose bits of our ancestors ways of life.

Amazing documentary...i am Malaysian. I am proud of our beautiful natives of Borneo Sabah Sarawak. True to the soil. Our Governments do not respect them and protect their lands and culture enough. No matter how many the Governments have changed... they have failed in this aspect. The Penans and other types of natives harvest v only b what they need. They have great respect to nature, environment, wildlife.... far more civilised than greedy cooperations and governments. Their story is very much like Australian Aboriginees and American Natives. Every Government has a duty towards its Natives. You can't keep stealing from them and chasing them from the soil they have grown on. Its the Government and Local States to be blamed for selling State lands to logging or coporate bodies. Shameful greed..... without regard to the souls that lived in the jungles.

it's normal for the country to want to grow economically, however it's also true that it's unfair for the government of the country to evict people from their homes, in my opinion they should plan their projects in a way that makes sure they either don't affect the tribes at all (i.e. log/farm only where there are no tribes), or where the tribes are willing to move in exchange for compensation (in land, money or other benefits).

A beautiful and moving film, Raphael. I spent two months working in Sabah/Brunei Bay back in 1978. It was the most magical place I had ever visited. The rainforest met the mangroves close to the shoreline. The wildlife was plentiful and the birds were colourful and noisy. I went back 30 years later and much of it had gone, replaced by palm tree plantations. The only sound breaking the silence was a pump sending palm oil to a loading terminal on a riverbank. It was a sad and depressing experience.

Dear Raphael. I want to thank you for creating and bringing to attention this memorizing story/doco movie. Beautiful.

Life is also very hard. Just watch some jungle survival videos about what it takes to stay alive from exposure, sickness, starvation and predators. These people don't have it easy, plus their life expectancy sucks.

There are tribes like this who live in the Rain forests of Africa. One tribe I watched on KZbin the forest people of Guinea, here are some people still not contacted that live in the African forests if they see the foreigners they hide, they use bows and arrows to hunt, they watch the foreigners chopping their land and they just move further into the forests, as they are small tribes who cannot fight a load of men with guns, though some white men where found dead there a long time ago, the tribe moved on, they have never spoke to them and I hope we never get hold of them, they are the original indigenous people of Africa, and should be left alone to live in the paradise that was provided by Mother Nature. They live exactly live the people of Borneo forest, only they don’t use poisonous darts anymore. The big logging companies are doing the same thing to its people also, killing the forests not replanting and causing Climate change. There is a documentary about the uncontacted people of Africa on KZbin.

Greeting Rapaheal :)..I from Sabah a Malaysian State next to Sarawak. I came from a Dusun ethnic. I was very touch to see your documentary in this video, and im agree with you that we should let this Penan people living the way they should be because if we change their way of living one day all their practice and culture will be instinct like my ethnic. Believe it or not most youngsters nowadays cannot even speak to their mother tongue language let alone to explain their calture in detail. I wish that this Penan people will be seeing a brighter life in the future. One more thing, I WISH PEOPLE ESPECIALLY MALAYSIAN SHOULD STOP DEFORESTATION NOW, POLLUTION AND GLOBAL WARMING IS VERY DANGEROUS. I been working as an Outdoor Activity Instructor so i know what is happening to our jungle, some time it even better to live in the jungle rather than a busy City full with people who only think how to make more money. Anyway thanks bro Rapa! I really appreciate this video.. Ponsikou (Thanks You)

This documentary is outstanding. The music was as relaxing as their culture. They take only what they need from the forest & have readily available solutions to most problems.

@Quetzalcoatl Music is a cultural thing so there isn't really a right or wrong answer. To me the soft synths withs some light drum line and some "tribal"ish vocals on the beginning do a really good job at describing a free and natural state of being. It makes me Imagine an idealzed version of the past where people lived in unison with nature with some hunting adventures and maybe some hardship as well but they were strong enough to deal with it. For me they immediately got me in the right mood. If you think there would have been some other form of music that would have fitted better I would like to hear it.
