Transmigration
in Indonesia
The
Indonesian island of Borneo is in crisis, swept by raging forest
fires and with grandiose development schemes threatening to
destroy the environment. This film follows the story of a Javanese
family that has been brought in to work on a huge and ill-conceived
rice-growing project. For them this is the promised land, but
for the local Dayak people it is a disaster. |

Each transmigrant family is allocated a standard
issue house and small plot of land |

For the transmigrants,
the
reality of their lives usually
falls far short of the promises |
