Sarawak Gone – and open video project

February 22nd, 2010

Bengoh Dam construction site, Upper Bengoh, Sarawak

In 1999 we co-produced and began to host the excellent indigenous news service, Rengah Sarawak. In the intervening years we continued to support the project, more recently getting behind the open video and micro-docs series, Sarawak Gone.

Sarawak Gone is a micro-docs series dealing with two of some of the last forest communities of Sarawak, the Bidayuh and the Penan. Sarawak is one of two Malaysian states on the island of Borneo, north-west of Australia.

The series is being released online over the coming months. Two episodes are already online, another five in post-production.

The series and associated resources are licensed for re-use and re-distribution at no cost with the only condition being that the producers, Toy Satellite and Andrew Garton, are acknowledged at all times.
