Watch The Road to Home and Forgotten Bird of Paradise online

March 28, 2026

Two powerful films are now available to stream online, shining a light on West Papua and the struggle of its people.

Multi-award winning undercover documentary Forgotten Bird of Paradise exposes the brutal realities of life under Indonesian rule in West Papua, documenting human rights abuses, repression and the resilience of West Papuans fighting for their freedom.

The Road to Home follows Nobel Peace Prize–nominated independence leader Benny Wenda, documenting his life in exile in the UK and his tireless campaign for self-determination. Directed by Dominic Brown, who also made Forgotten Bird of Paradise, the film provides rare access to Wenda’s journey and activism.

Both films are held in the permanent collections of the Library of Congress, Cornell University, the University of Michigan, New York University, the University of Hawaii at Manoa, the Australian National University and others, and educational and institutional licences are available for universities and libraries.

They have screened internationally at festivals and events and are now available to watch online in high definition, offering a rare insight into West Papua’s ongoing struggle.
