Borneo Longhouse
A short film made together with a remote Dayak community from Indonesian Borneo, who explain their decision to rebuild a traditional longhouse to guarantee the survival of Dayak culture in the face of forest loss and plantation expansion, and ask for support for tools to rebuild a longhouse. The fundraising for this project was very successful and the community held a ceremony to “plant” the first pillar of the new longhouse. The longhouse was built in 2007-8.
