- Rediscover the forest through the fresh viewpoint of a Papuan chief born in Papua New Guinea: Mundiya Kepanga, the "child of the forest". This traditional storyteller unveils the extent of the deforestation that has drastically accelerated in his country in recent years.
Following his journey as an environmental defender, from his own village to the largest international symposiums, the film delivers a new way to look at the planet: our forests are a universal heritage that we have to save.
Committed to this cause, Mundiya Kepanga becomes an ambassador of the forest and the voice of indigenous people. A call to protect the world’s primal forests, reminding us that we are all the brothers of the trees.

You can feel how wise and humble this man is. Protect our forest protect our planet
Literally in tears. Heartbreaking that we've allowed this to happen to our planet.
Absolutely amazing footage and the chief is a man of honour.
This guy is an old soul
As a fellow Papuan from West Papua, his first monologue feels like my ancestors speaks directly into my soul.
Deforestation prolonged with large scale Palm oil plantations are destroying our forest in the whole island. From West Papua to PNG, we are experiencing this phenomena where we are loosing our nature into 'economy'.
Moreover, most of our leaders are either not bright or too corrupted to implement such a clever way to develop our economy while keeping our sacred and pristine nature intact.
OMG this video brought me to tears. What a beautiful soul this man is. There is horrific deforestation all around the world, including the Amazon, as well as US and Canada. Bless Robert Redford for his work and the tireless work of this wonderful chief. The amount of atmospheric oxygen is slowly decreasing. It's frightening. Blessings
Don't be frightened of oxygen levels, they're largely stable due to the greening of the Northern Hemisphere. 😊Interestingly, over the last 35 years we've seen the greening of vast parts of land that formerly had little or no plant life. How vast? Twice the size of the continental United States. Carbon is plant food, it seems. And plants in cold areas love incremental temperature increases. 😊
@@BridgeportIPA Many people even don't know ,that carbon is plant food , carbon levels in the air depend primarily from sun activity , they are not caused by man , as we are told .
I agree with him , people and greed and power hungry ways will destroy us all , we’re not all the same I love the forest like you
It is a capitalist economic system.. all you need to say is yes, boss ..
and trying to survive.
Amazing documentary. Long Live The Forest 💚🇪🇹👑✊🏾
My admiration and respect of Chief Kepanga Mudina . My prayers for his safety , hope it will never happen to him what was done to other environment preservations advocates. I am with him and the rest with genuine advocate against deforestration .
If the photographer (friend of him) is responsible for giving chief these important insights he speaks of, I deeply admire this genuine action of devotion and responsibility. my turn!
I wish I could visit and experience the culture of these native tribes across the world. If only the big tech companies and the hug corporations that enjoy destroying our world. This guy is trying to save it still, a true warrior journey of ever there was one.
That man is like one of those wise old trees from the forest.
As a son of Samoa, my heart and support is with you all my Pacific brothers and sisters.
I have watched 100s of docs/videos of PNG. And this is in my top 3 of my fav movies showcasing PNG.
🙌 Wow!! I must have watched countless videos & documentaries about global destruction of primal forests but this honestly is the first time I have been actually affected emotionally....maybe it is the straightforward simplicity and honesty of the chief that hits the raw chord of even passive cynics like me.
Hats off to all the wonderful people involved in the making of this movie🎉, thank you & God bless!!
One of the best documentaries I have watched in a long time. Well done, and a very well done to the Chief.
I live close to the HoH rainforest in Washington state I’m Native American and I know the Chief’s heart and what his words mean. There are many people who have sickness in their hearts who only can cure themselves with Money and greed and don’t care for Mother Earth or what she has given us! It takes courage from others to stand up and fight against the murdering of our planet!! ThIs is all I have to say,please be kind to our mother without her we will not survive!😢
Your comment really touched me as a Papua New Guinean
@@timakygenzieq23 thank you for understanding what I was saying through my heart. Wish I was there to see your part of this world and your culture in person that would be a wish come true for me! Bless you and your family
@@FirstNationsPisces very true my friend. I always admire the First Nation American natives for your resilience in protecting your sacred sites and environment. The Europeans where the first illegal immigrants that came and destroyed your environment. Here, we are close to the Asians and they are trying to do the same to us. But thank God, we are now civilised and independent and will always stand up to protect our natural environment. Maybe one day you might come and we can travel together in the jungles. That we may learn from each others cultures and way of life.
I'm European 🤗
@@dawnkinsella8931 hello my friend I hope to talk to someday 😁
Im very proud of the chief,hes a beautifyl soul in an ocean of trees!
This story of the forest, our prestine Nature....we should all weep upon its vast destruction...and stand to protect it hand in hand...Otherwise soon we will go without air to breath, water to drink, and no place for living...
Thanks The Chief of Papua, film crue, and everyone who took part in making this awareness....🙏❤️🌿🌄
When you hear this man and you really start listening, even if by some miracle you were not aware of the situation it really hits you hard, when I saw that tree and how he's talking about it being one of the oldest trees in the world, I cried. Nature is beautiful but soon we won't have anymore nature.
trees in the tropics don't live too long, they grow quick and die even quicker
Chief ... U are a man of honour.... Love u brother.. from Himalayan mountains of Pakistan ❤❤❤
So much wisdom this man has, this is honestly one of the most eye opening sad docs I’ve ever seen.
A fantastically well put together documentary. From the editing, story telling, cinematography, and central character to his empathy, understanding and non judgementalness for the loggers and the root causes at the lowest level of the deforestation machine, and beyond to his message and international collaboration.
Bravo, well done!!
You can say that those malaysian logging companies are the pioneers of commercial rain forest logging.They're responsible of the destruction of sarawak's rain forest and with nothing left to log,now they operate globally.
Although I am from Malaysia, train n graduated in forestry n wood technology, I agree with you that there are certain unscrupulous logging companies cutting down forests just for monetary gain without thinking of our future environment.
The chief is the man!!!!! I love this guy. What a wonderfully thought-provoking film....if you ever come to essex England you are more than welcome to stay at my communal hut...xx
The interaction between the chief and the students is one of the most beautiful example of humanity 💜 I've ever had the pleasure of witnessing. This is how you change the world. With love and kindness and knowledge.
Excelente y bello Documental muy ilustrativo e interesante🙏🌻🍀🌼💌🌷🌍agradezco que compartan tan buen ejemplo de personas que viven en armonía con la madre tierra.🙏🙏
Oh my God, please save my forest.
To the West Sepiks in PNG, "yupla tokim Hon. Belden Namah na helpim yupla putim stop long logging."
This is an absolute tragedy.
It MUST be stopped somehow before it's too late😢
This was one of the best documentaries that I have ever watched!! Please, keep doing this kind of documentaries!
Painful watch but thank you SLICE ❤
This is like the story of human history, please take this seriously and show a friend ❤
Capitalism at its best! Fantastic video. Bless Chief Kepanga Mundiya and all Papua New Guinea! ♥ Save Papatuanuku ♥

Thank you for bringing the tales of the jungle to the world which is becoming very ignorant about the need of preserving nature
What a great documentary,
Papua needs money. Trick is how they develop without destroying all that they love. Great doco
What lovely honest man with great mind wisdom has no limit and borders.
Well educated man by nature.
Amazing man who gives us a biiig lesson. Respect!!!
The best documentary I seen in my lifetime. Thank you all for bringing awareness.
Love the documentaries here but if I could make a sugestion: use subtitles instead of voicing over, half the magic of it lays in listening to these fascinating languages. Peace
I really enjoyed the presence of the chief and this documentary.
I’m from the same area Mundiya is from. This makes me sad 😢 and I miss my homeland.
Thank you Mundiya Kepanga

49:10 my brother just fell head over heels in love with Mr Ford
This forest is beautiful the tribal people have the right to defend their land. Let the people on the outside stayhomeandcut their one trees down and leave these people alone
What I do not understand is why the govt in charge of Papua New Guinea is not confronted directly to make them stop the logging of its precious forests. Raising awareness with children and distant bureaucrats in faraway Paris is one thing, but what is needed is direct action to stop the logging of these irreplaceable primeval rainforests. The loggers and their logging companies should be sent chasing back to their own countries, and the roads built to bring heavy machinery into these forests should be entirely blocked. Only direct action where the damage is being done will stem the tide of this destruction. Show this video to govt officials who are probably taking bribes to allow logging to continue.
I too a bit conflicted a bout this disconnect in this noble campaign efforts.
What a good man the Chief is! I'm sharing this video, it's wonderful!
This man very smart !
Great Documentary 🙌
Amazing work ❤
😢upsetting.good luck chief
first time i see papuan people
I was very moved when the Headdress was handed over. I hope they take note of his message about his fast disappearing forest and the Companies that are exploiting peoples such as these all over the world. They should be named and shamed!
Nice video
They should stop that.....!!!
They should unite and stop that evil......!
Oh God please protect this your children..
God should do something. But who knows how many planets there are in the galaxy that need help. But there may be many travelers too like the one written about in our bible.
After watching this I came to realisation that now a days thieves say be careful of your possessions. 😮
In my country Zambia we have also given our most precious and expensive trees called mukula to the Chinese 😢😢😢😢
The real Greeks before they got kicked out of their land.
As a southern Canadian who has done a few road trips out west to British Columbia it's sad when you see a part of a mountain that has been clear cut. You look at a beautiful mountain just to see a huge spot of trees missing looks pathetic and when you see how much we pay for lumber and oil which Canada has an abundance of it's absolutely pathetic.
Protect our forest all over asia Same in philippines our forest are destroyed by deforestation and mining company..
Dear Australians, you stole the country from the indigenous people but the country is being robbed by outsiders! This is called Karma!
💚💚💚💚
Nature

Makes me so mad, but as I write this from a wood house in America I am certainly part of the problem. Makes me want to scream.😢😢
You're house was made with farmed pine. This is east asians.
Only to watch this video is painful what about the people who belong there????
THİS DOKU MUST BOCOME OSCAR 🏆
Human kind!

Bring Peace!
Are you serious ?
It's a crime against the humanity not a forest...Where is Sir David Attenborough ???
Very sad 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Old beetle lol. Gold.
there isnt an individual on the planet that is not disgusted by this distruction"" only those that put PROFIT their own greed ABOVE all else .only when the last fish is caught,the last river poisoned, and the last tree hits the floor will they realise you carn"t EAT MONEY.
