The Borneo Case plot

In 2000, a Swedish crew made a film about the Swiss environmentalist Bruno Manser; they were among the last people to see him before he disappeared without a trace in the Malaysian state of Sarawak on May 25 of that year. With his best friend Mutang, he organized occupations to stop the large-scale logging. Years later, Mutang appears to have fled to Canada after torture and imprisonment. He closely follows developments in his native region through Radio Free Sarawak, a London station run by a Malaysian DJ and a bold British journalist. Slowly, the filmmakers are once again sucked into the still urgent issue – 90 percent of the jungle has now been destroyed, including the place where Mutang used to live.
