Film breaks West Papua media ban

A new film shows rarely-seen footage of separatist rebels in Indonesia’s Papua province, who have been fighting a low-level insurgency for more than 40 years.

The military wing of the Free Papua Movement, or OPM, has control over some remote parts of Papua. The international media and many NGOs are banned from Papua, but that did not stop young film-maker Dominic Brown from visiting and capturing rare video images of some OPM military camps.
