Uprooted – the Olympic Tribe is a documentary created by Bálint Révész and Angus MacInnes, who spent several years living with the Dayak-Bahao people in the central highlands of Borneo, observing and researching as their ancestral homeland shrank. Together with three emissaries of the village, they embarked on a journey that led them from the rainforests of Borneo to Tokyo, where tropical timber is being used in the stadiums for the Olympic Games. En route, they found swathes of devastation and huge palm oil plantations in the middle of the jungle, as they traced the hidden supply chains currently destroying the planet's most precious resources and an ancient way of life. The film is English-, Indonesian- and Bahao-speaking with Hungarian subtitles, and runs for 54 minutes. Cinematography was by Jamie Wolfeld. This open-air screening at 9pm will be preceded by an Indonesian meal at 8pm and followed by a premiere party at the adjoining Gólya community centre at 10pm, starting off with traditional Javanese music.
