West Papua

support the Free West Papua campaign here!!

films specifically about West Papua, set there and/or starring West Papuans, primarily focusing on Indonesia‘s occupation of West Papua since 1963 as a continuation of dutch colonial rule since the 17th century. films centring West Papuan resistance/history/perspectives first, links in notes where available.

grateful for any recommendations or pointers for West Papuan filmmakers / films that are co-signed by Papuan movements as the docs are mainly made by white Europeans/Americans/Australians, fiction films mainly by Indonesians — CN for racism/reproduction of colonial narratives and names in many of theseI am putting specific content notes where I can.
