Pacific Peoples Partnership, in partnership with MediaNet and OPEN CINEMA, presents the Victoria screening of Isolated and the homecoming performance of Pedalling for Papua.
Isolated follows elite world surfers on a journey to find remote waves around the islands of Indonesia, where they discover West Papua and its human rights atrocities, unethical mining corporations and political injustice. Pedalling for Papua is an international
bicycling and performance tour which concluded in December 2013. Campaigner Jeremy Bally travelled nearly 20,000 kilometers on bicycle to share the story of West Papua around the world. Bally has returned home to share his experiences on the road, as well as the performance itself, with local audiences.
The performance and movie event is an opportunity for audiences to see many sides of this complex, tragic and beautiful story through the eyes of explorers, athletes and storytellers.
Any funds raised will enable PPP and local Papuan counterparts to collaboratively promote rights-based sustainable development models that empower communities while respecting traditional knowledge, cultural integrity and the threatened ecosystems upon which they depend. This will include establishing five women's cooperatives in West Papua serving a network of over 2000 West Papuan women. PPP is grateful to LUSH Fresh Handmade Cosmetics for supporting this work.
In addition to the performance and screening at 6:30, there is a lunch and learn the same day at the Centre for Asia Pacific Initiatives at the University of Victoria.
