VOICED : In Borneo jungle natives stand up

The video discusses the controversy surrounding a proposed dam on the Barren River, which threatens to flood a village and disrupt the lives of indigenous tribes. Despite promises of compensation, the tribes fear losing their land and culture, citing past broken promises from similar projects. Environmentalists accuse the government of corruption and cultural genocide. The government argues the dam will bring jobs and development, but the potential destruction of 200 square kilometers of rainforest and the ancient way of life remains a significant concern.
