Luka´s Moment

This is a piece of contemporary everyday life in West Papua, one of the conflict areas in Indonesia. Instead of reproducing Papua with chilling and horror filled images of conflict, the filmmaker was more interested to treat his camera to create an intimate, observational and emphatic story about Luka, a young Marind fisherman who’s trying hard to finance his own education.
