Indigenous peoples (Chewong, Temuan). Lakum forests near Kelau River. Forced and unjustified resettlement. No free, informed consent. Deforestation. Environmental damage. Unconsidered alternatives. Unnecessary dam.
The planned Kelau Dam project in Pahang is causing a lot of dissent among the Orang Asli and surrounding residents. Besides causing disastrous consequences to flora and vegetation, the project will force several Orang Asli groups to be relocated in order to make way for the dam.

So join us for our movie night and open your mind and heart to an unfamiliar culture and its persistent social problems with our exclusive movie centered around the reactions and feelings of the Orang Asli towards the Kelau Dam project. Embark on a virtual journey into the settlements of Malaysian indigenous peoples. Be part of an adventure to learn what the Orang Asli are really about, what is important to them and what they want out of life. See for yourself the hardships the Orang Asli have to endure as modern development ignores culture and tradition in favour of money and self-interest. thanks
