The People of Bukit Lawang: Handcrafted Films & Gekko Studio

The People of Bukit Lawang: North Sumatra, Indonesia
Uploaded by Films4

Duration: 05:58 Location: North Sumatra, Indonesia.

The film is based in Bukit Lawang, where devastating floods caused over 239 deaths in 2003. The flooding was attributed to illegal logging in the surrounding Gunung Leuser National Park. Since the floods, this village community has been involved in voluntary forest governance enforcement schemes in an attempt to curb illegal logging in the National Park. The community has also started to recognise the important role of ecotourism in the preservation of their surrounding forests. 

This film is a co-production between:
