Malaysia, to live is already to live

Borneo is one of the most spectacular and disturbing scenes of deforestation: every day, hectares of primary forest disappear. In this grandiose setting, women and men struggle to preserve their way of life while adapting to a changing world. Kara is a member of the Penan tribe, one of the last nomadic peoples of the forest. A nurse, she braves rutted tracks and rivers to care for her family. Malaysia is the world's second-largest producer of palm oil. While this crop is devastating, it remains a lifeline for many farmers. But the harvest still needs to be delivered during the rainy season.
