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
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 birthplace 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

00:00:22.101 --> 00:00:24.881
This is where my
extended family used to live.

00:00:27.636 --> 00:00:30.187
But in mere seconds,

00:00:31.939 --> 00:00:34.901
everything that was once here,
perished, destroyed

00:00:36.990 --> 00:00:39.777
Do you notice that women
from this area are strong?

00:00:41.771 --> 00:00:46.182
Because they endured 
the hardest strike of mudflow

00:00:47.006 --> 00:00:49.303
We had to leave, were forced out

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

00:00:52.776 --> 00:00:54.214
(There was) No sign
of their existence.

00:00:55.822 --> 00:00:57.858
We really needed support

00:00:58.571 --> 00:01:00.255
we needed friends
during that time

00:01:01.915 --> 00:01:03.441
But who came for us?

00:01:03.838 --> 00:01:05.263
No one.

00:01:06.318 --> 00:01:07.529
We stayed.

00:01:08.546 --> 00:01:10.937
The fates of our children, 
are all we are thinking

00:01:11.830 --> 00:01:14.307
Children should stay in school.

00:01:15.749 --> 00:01:18.464
Therefore we take blows after blows

00:01:20.004 --> 00:01:22.874
We take how society undermine our existence

00:01:24.792 --> 00:01:26.734
We stay strong

00:01:27.978 --> 00:01:29.564
We stand united

00:01:30.180 --> 00:01:32.385
although we were removed from history

00:01:35.321 --> 00:01:37.870
I see women here feeling my pain

00:01:38.856 --> 00:01:41.231
they too, feel what we feel

00:01:42.919 --> 00:01:47.144
I truly hope what happened in Porong 
will not happen in other places

00:01:47.293 --> 00:01:49.786
may no one be mistreated like us

00:01:50.305 --> 00:01:52.058
enough is enough!

00:01:52.349 --> 00:01:54.234
Let this pain stop here.

00:01:54.489 --> 00:01:57.178
Please, don't let this happen again,

00:01:57.536 --> 00:01:58.970
Defend your space,

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

00:02:01.419 --> 00:02:03.480
Defend your birth place,

00:02:05.451 --> 00:02:08.313
those people do not think that we exist.

00:02:08.842 --> 00:02:11.318
Why do you think I say 
something like this?

00:02:11.639 --> 00:02:14.236
Because the government
does not acknowledge our rights

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

00:02:21.283 --> 00:02:23.755
There are children born with disabilities

00:02:24.540 --> 00:02:26.390
their parents used to work here,
for the mining company

00:02:27.247 --> 00:02:28.730
we have been inhaling poisonous gas

00:02:29.524 --> 00:02:30.666
we're exposed to constant heat

00:02:31.818 --> 00:02:33.282
the Government doesn't care about us

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, let's unite,

00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:48.544
Let's 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

00:03:09.563 --> 00:03:10.938
but when we're ruined,
they're nowhere to be found.

00:03:12.311 --> 00:03:13.890
They're there to defend the mining company

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