JAYAPURA (Papuan Voices/Pacific Media Watch): EngageMedia is proud to present the second volume of Papuan Voices documentaries, which were started as a way to bring the everyday stories of West Papuan people to a wider audience.
These documentaries tell the stories behind the conflict that are not often circulated: the struggles for education, healthcare, equality and dignity.
West Papuans directed these documentaries, which are the result of a video workshop series held in Wamena and Sorong in 2013 and 2014.
The videos are also available on the website www.papuanvoices.net
The site includes additional resource materials, such as background information, details about the work of our partners in Papua, discussion guides, a study guide and ways to get involved in these critical issues. These are available in English and Bahasa Indonesia.
The first volume in this series was released in 2012. Together, the two volumes of Papuan Voices tell a complex story of current situation in West Papua. We hope these stories will inspire others to learn and act, so the voices of Papuans are brought to the forefront.
