These extremely rare videos show two men who are part of Indonesia's "uncontacted" tribes, in voluntary isolation from civilisation. They belong to the "Hongana Manyawa" community, a hunter-gatherer people who live in the forests of the island of Halmahera in Indonesia. Their territory is being threatened by the advance of the mining industry, as the world's largest nickel mine is being developed on the island. Weda Bay Nickel's shareholders include France's Eramet.
