I love the fact that you werent asking any stupid or controversial questions to the Penan tribe. You were very respectful of their culture and understood and was empathetic to their woes without appearing pretentious. Great video

[@__logan__duvalier__]

This is the best documentary on the Penan I have seen. I once lived in Borneo and spent time with several Dayak tribes including Kelabit and Penan in Sarawak and Punan in Kalimantan. The Penan are truly the most intelligent, knowledgeable, generous and kind people I have ever met. Your coverage of the issues effecting the Penan is extensive and sympathetic. Also good to see your mention of Bruno Manser and his good work to help the Dayaks battle the logging companies and the corrupt Malaysian government who are destroying their land.

I just found out how the Chinese have penetrated the area and corrupted officials; converting lush forests to cement cities and building huge dams which will wipe out vast areas of the forests with flooding, displacing tribes....and a potential source of major disaster. Please do something to protect your forests and rich wildlife. Peace from neighbor Philippines.

The Penan and Iban as with all tribes have such a precious knowledge of land, water and air. They will survive when there is famine or economic disasters while we in urban environments will suffer as we don’t know how to live off what Mother Nature has given us.

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. Thankyou Rafa for a beautiful dedication to Penans and also Bruno Manser. ❤ You deserve much more views and Best Documentary Award🎉

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. This is such a beautiful video, everything was very well captured, I have gained even more infos. Thank you and keep it up!

[@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.

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.

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 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.

Are there any things that you would like to share outside the context of the film? Should I just message you?

They live exactly live the people of Borneo forest, only they don’t use poisonous darts anymore.

[@oswaldclarke7775]

Raphael this was the most riveting exceptional pure documentary I have ever seen on YT. I have been educated, saddened and cheered for the strength resilience and fortitude of these people. When I hear people complaining, they should all watch videos like this and maybe they will appreciate their circumstances no matter how limited. Magnificent work. Congratulations!

I lived in Malaysia and I saw so many loggers and palm oil plantations. I could feel the change of temperature once I left the rainforest and arrived in palm oil plantations. I am happy you are giving a voice to the voiceless.

Dear Raphael. I want to thank you for creating and bringing to attention this memorizing story/doco movie. Beautiful. So sad that these people are forced away from their culture and natural way of living. I hope by liking and sharing this story, we can all help bring upon change and help these small tribes retain their way of living in the face of greed and corruption.

[@jameschoice3983]

maybe one of the most empathic, informative and authentic documentaries I have ever seen! no sensationalism. no sentimentalism, no folklorism, a beautiful narration a decent commenting a silent and often lakonic camera catching and noticing the the most miraculous details "by the way"... Thank you! Merci beaucoup "Rafa" Treza and Team! What you do is very, very important!

This is one of the most beautiful thing I've seen in a while. Thank you for your work. "The Penan, people for whom kindness, generosity and courage is a way of life. Their ingenuity and the elegant solutions they employ to thrive in some of the most challenging and complex environments, must not be lost."

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. The fact they tend to embrace modern culture and technology is proof that their traditional way of life is not all rainbows and unicorns.

[@sandygalbraith9491]

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.

[@elizabeth415]

Thank you for your hard work and for sharing this amazing documentary! I hope one day they can go back and live happy in the forest ! 😊

And.. the music is great. I hear inspirations from the likes of FSOL, Loop Guru, the Orb etc. I sincerely hope you will do a few more. Bonne continuation Rafa.

Thank you for this amazing video Mr Treza💚I'm one of the Iban Tribe from Sarawak. And, yes, bamboo shoots, tapioca leaves and wild ferns are our favourite foods. And, I'm still living in the longhouse together with my parents, siblings and my grandparents. Unfortunately, our forest (at my place) has gone. The Penan Tribe is like our siblings. We do respect each other as there is no more tribal war or headhunting (headhunting was practised by our Iban ancestors hundreds of years ago and it's not allowed anymore). Sending love and peace to every tribes in Sarawak🤍Good job Mr Treza💙

What will your family do with out the forest to suplement your needs? Especially with the lack of government help.

[@jordanhyeon9703]

@@fairwitness7473 Thankfully, my grandfather owned small piece of land where my family can grow some vegetables and black pepper. But, vegetables alone from the farm were not enough for our daily food (due to weather), so, we need to pick some bamboo shoots or wild ferns from the remaining forest. Sometimes, my father and my uncle going for wildboar hunting or going to catch fishes from the river. We do have small town to get some groceries but, we cannot go often because of the transportation matter. We need to pay others that have vehicles to go to the town. And the groceries at the town were quite expensive too. That's why we cannot go often to the town.

Fascinating look at the culture, the native species of animals...everything. It's truly a shame what has happened to their environment and way of life...and I hope this documentary helps bring further awareness to their situation. Cheers, from Canada.
