An evening of Film

Film Evening for your diary: Thursday 17 April at 7-30 The Peace Centre 22 Emily Place Auckland City (close to Britomart)

Three important short films about the impact of logging on indigenous communities in West Papua.
These unique films were made by the communities themselves with some support from Church and environmental organisations.

When you have seen these films you will want to support the IHRC campaign against the import into New Zealand of kwila from West Papua!

1."The tears of Mother Mooi" - documents the negative impacts of of logging on the indigenous Mooi people in Sorong West Papua. The film shows how the local people use the forest - their mother- for their essential resources. The film gives voice to their long struggle against the conglomerates and deforestation.

2. "Gaharu - Blessing or disaster " - impact of the harvesting of gahuru trees on a community

3. "Destiny my land" - impact of defrestation on communities in Bituni Bay- inlcuding an alternative model of community logging. Explains why resistance is so difficult in a militarised environment.

Excerpts from the film "Echoes from Indonesia's Forests: Stories from Papua" made by EIA and Telepak will also be shown - EIA and Telepak exposed the West Papua illegal logging scandal in 2005 and tracked the logs through Malaysia and China and on to the luxury flooring markets in Europe

An evening not to be missed.
