E5 Jangan Bunuh Kami Lagi: West Papua Part 1


Listen Later

Jangan Bunuh Kami Lagi / Stop Killing Us!

In the towns and cities and among the hills and valleys of West Papua, a desperate struggle for independence and the preservation of cultures and ways of life is raging.

The compelling stories of West Papua are rarely heard in Australia or around the world.


This is Adolf’s story, from childhood in the mountain village, to protests in the city, to fleeing for his life to continue his campaign outside the country.


And a boat that helped break some of the silence around West Papua.
