00:00:02.834 --> 00:00:06.834
My name is Thois Wanma, I am from Papua, PV (Papuan Voices) Sorong Region.

00:00:06.834 --> 00:00:10.834
My name is Immanuel. I am from Papuan Voices, Keerom Region.

00:00:10.834 --> 00:00:14.834
What is Papuan Voices?

00:00:14.834 --> 00:00:18.834
Papuan Voices is a documentary film community in Papua

00:00:18.834 --> 00:00:26.134
about the human nature and nature of Papua, everything about social life and others life in Papua.

00:00:26.134 --> 00:00:30.134
A Short documentary film that is usually made by Papuan Voices.

00:00:30.134 --> 00:00:31.924
What issues are raise by Papuan Voices?

00:00:31.924 --> 00:00:37.294
PV films raise issues such as economic problems, women problems,

00:00:37.298 --> 00:00:41.298
and many other problems raised by PV.

00:00:41.298 --> 00:00:46.998
Films that we make raise a lot of problems not to look for problems.

00:00:46.998 --> 00:00:50.998
But educational films for the Papuan people themselves,

00:00:50.998 --> 00:00:58.978
for example, making films in Merauke, then friends in Sorong can appear.

00:00:58.978 --> 00:01:05.291
Because most of Papuan, people in other districts do not want to know (problems in other areas)

00:01:05.291 --> 00:01:12.531
Educational film on how people in Sorong know how to deal with the forest environment,

00:01:12.531 --> 00:01:17.901
or in Merauke such as large-scale plantation investments entering, and others.

00:01:17.901 --> 00:01:21.541
At least Sorong or Manokwari know.

00:01:21.541 --> 00:01:23.551
What are the activities of Papuan Voices?

00:01:23.551 --> 00:01:31.551
Films that have been produced, we can do screening films on campus, usually in dormitories in the Jayapura city area,

00:01:31.551 --> 00:01:37.667
Likewise, with Papuan Voices, other regions have screenings and discussions.

00:01:37.667 --> 00:01:40.634
That's what PV does.

00:01:40.634 --> 00:01:43.524
How are the social conditions in Papua?

00:01:43.524 --> 00:01:51.074
When talking about conditions in Papua, Papua is very broad, a huge problem

00:01:51.074 --> 00:01:58.234
such as economic problems, women's problems, so this year there are still many problems.

00:01:58.234 --> 00:02:05.444
Therefore, PV tries to show the problem and how to discuss it.

00:02:05.444 --> 00:02:09.473
So the films produced to know how to solve the problems.

00:02:09.473 --> 00:02:13.474
social conditions that happening are a lot

00:02:13.474 --> 00:02:18.594
For example, today there is a large investment coming in like in oil palm plantations.

00:02:18.594 --> 00:02:24.334
The native people in the area don't know the work in the palm oil company like what is it.

00:02:24.334 --> 00:02:26.254
What are the problems faced by Papuan Voices?

00:02:26.254 --> 00:02:30.734
Language also affects film production.

00:02:30.734 --> 00:02:36.194
An example I made in Mayalibit Bay, a native tribe of Maya.

00:02:36.194 --> 00:02:41.214
Along the way they speak their own language.

00:02:41.214 --> 00:02:47.004
There are difficulties to take pictures and editing,

00:02:47.004 --> 00:02:50.264
Because I myself did not understand what they agreed to.

00:02:50.264 --> 00:02:55.004
So, I have to find people to translate it into Indonesian and English too.

00:02:55.004 --> 00:02:58.234
I come from Keerom Regency to have to take a long journey.

00:02:58.234 --> 00:03:05.634
from one place to place takes up to 1-2 hours, local transport also expensive.

00:03:05.634 --> 00:03:08.194
Why are you interested in Papuan Voices?

00:03:08.194 --> 00:03:14.614
I am interested in PV because I have a high sense of concern for Papuans.

00:03:14.614 --> 00:03:21.364
Papua is still lagging behind, so I want to discuss all those who go through their respective regions

00:03:21.364 --> 00:03:28.957
That don't say that Papuan are rich in gold or other, even though the reality is in the field aren't like that.

00:03:28.957 --> 00:03:33.367
When I went down by myself, Papuans were still left behind, faced with economic problems.

00:03:33.367 --> 00:03:37.640
That makes me feel sad, that's why, I want to explain

00:03:37.640 --> 00:03:45.880
that Papua does not need anything from the Government, but Papua only needs love/caring.

00:03:45.880 --> 00:03:57.530
I am interested in PV because I think how to solve it

00:03:57.530 --> 00:04:02.500
problems that exist and as young people, I want to do what I can do.

00:04:02.500 --> 00:04:09.650
So that, when there was training from EngageMedia that helped set up PV, it was very fitting.

00:04:09.650 --> 00:04:15.670
We make films not only to make, but to be watched by people.
