Tong Tana: A Journey to the Heart of Borneo Movie Review 1990

This is a documentary on the Penan tribe, a primitive nomadic people who live in the interior of Borneo and are threatened by the increasingly intensive logging operations there. It focuses on Bruno Manser, a Swiss man who lives with the Penans and, since Borneo's government has put a $85,000 price on his head, presumably engages in terroristic activity to protect the forest and the Penans.
