The Conspiracy Of Silence (Preview)
04:28Posted: Jun 25, 2011 by ucu with 0 commentsHow hard is it to seek for proper medical treatment in Indonesia? The answer is: it is as hard as searching for a needle in the haystack.

The Conspiracy Of Silence is deeply woven inside the corps of Indonesian medical doctors. Whereas, the rights of patients are consciously silenced and ignored without any protection from the government. Read more…

Bikpela Bagarap - Full Feature
46:30Posted: Jun 08, 2011 by David01 with 0 commentsBikpela Bagarap reveals the human face of logging in Sandaun Province, Papua New Guinea.
