WEBVTT

00:00:01.357 --> 00:00:03.294
As you can see behind us

00:00:03.794 --> 00:00:05.603
This is what we call the Lapindo mudflow

00:00:06.648 --> 00:00:11.006
Fluid hot mud forming a pool

00:00:13.100 --> 00:00:15.703
This is the birthland of my children

00:00:16.152 --> 00:00:17.108
(Sobbing)

00:00:18.453 --> 00:00:19.876
Where my parents are buried

00:00:22.671 --> 00:00:24.881
This is where my extended family used to live.

00:00:28.016 --> 00:00:30.187
But in mere seconds,

00:00:32.169 --> 00:00:34.901
everything that were once here perished, destroyed

00:00:37.450 --> 00:00:39.777
Do you notice that the women in this area are so strong?

00:00:42.831 --> 00:00:45.502
It's because we were hit by the hardest strike

00:00:47.266 --> 00:00:49.303
We had to leave, evicted

00:00:50.013 --> 00:00:52.264
Dare you ask where was the government?

00:00:53.316 --> 00:00:54.414
No sign of their existence.

00:00:56.332 --> 00:00:58.298
Truthfully, we needed support

00:00:59.041 --> 00:01:00.645
we needed friends at that time

00:01:02.505 --> 00:01:04.001
but who came for us?

00:01:04.408 --> 00:01:05.263
No one.

00:01:06.958 --> 00:01:08.239
We stay.

00:01:08.966 --> 00:01:10.017
the fates of our children, grandchildren, 
are all we can think about

00:01:10.830 --> 00:01:14.337
Children should stay in school.

00:01:16.609 --> 00:01:18.464
Therefore we take stroke after stroke

00:01:20.454 --> 00:01:22.454
We take how society undermine our existence

00:01:25.572 --> 00:01:26.734
We stay strong

00:01:28.568 --> 00:01:29.984
We stand united

00:01:30.750 --> 00:01:32.385
although we were removed from history

00:01:35.861 --> 00:01:38.890
I see women here feeling my pain

00:01:40.216 --> 00:01:42.221
they too, feel what we feel

00:01:43.689 --> 00:01:47.894
I truly hope what happened in Porong 
do not happen in other places

00:01:48.403 --> 00:01:50.416
may no one receive this kind of treatment

00:01:51.205 --> 00:01:52.408
enough, stop until here.

00:01:52.969 --> 00:01:54.234
Let only us that felt this problem

00:01:55.049 --> 00:01:56.408
Please, don't do this to other places

00:01:56.706 --> 00:01:57.760
Defend your place,

00:01:59.278 --> 00:02:00.702
Embrace your land,

00:02:01.919 --> 00:02:03.480
Defend your birth place,

00:02:06.151 --> 00:02:09.023
because they considered we do not exist only now

00:02:09.912 --> 00:02:11.318
Why do you think I said something like this?

00:02:11.899 --> 00:02:14.146
Because the Government don't give back our rights,

00:02:17.531 --> 00:02:19.487
This is what we felt up until now.

00:02:21.283 --> 00:02:23.755
Some children have born with some difficulties,

00:02:24.540 --> 00:02:26.390
because their parents were working in this are

00:02:27.247 --> 00:02:28.730
they were inhaled this smelling mud area

00:02:29.524 --> 00:02:30.666
exposed to heat

00:02:31.818 --> 00:02:33.282
but the Government really didn't want to care

00:02:33.743 --> 00:02:35.980
Do you want to destroy our future generation?

00:02:36.488 --> 00:02:37.651
because of this Lapindo Brantas Company

00:02:40.935 --> 00:02:44.352
Friends, let us become strong, become unifying,

00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:48.544
We build a powerful women movement and show that

00:02:48.794 --> 00:02:49.824
women are not weak.

00:02:50.474 --> 00:02:53.391
Women are strong. We truly are strong.

00:02:58.494 --> 00:03:01.241
Let's beat this Government.

00:03:02.487 --> 00:03:04.256
Let's beat this State.

00:03:06.361 --> 00:03:09.142
They exist because of us, but when

00:03:09.563 --> 00:03:10.938
we got troubled, we are they?

00:03:12.311 --> 00:03:13.890
They are only present themselves to mining company

00:03:13.890 --> 00:03:15.096
not the people
