We marked International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples on the 9th of August, a day to recognise Indigenous cultures, communities and their ongoing struggles for rights and recognition. In Sarawak, few issues are more fundamental to those struggles than land. The documentary Long Moh takes us to the Kenyah Lepu Tau community in Ulu Baram, where people are defending their ancestral forest from logging while creating their own community-led approach to conservation. But aside from one village's story and struggle, it's also about who gets to decide what happens to ancestral land, and what Indigenous-led conservation and development can look like. We catch up with filmmaker Albert Bansa to discuss his own story and roots in Sarawak, what led him to tell stories about Indigenous communities and their relationship with the land, and also to dissect his film “Long Moh” and the bigger questions behind it.
