A group of passionate and naïve young people leave their known worlds behind to spend 100 days in the jungles of Borneo. Their mission is to confront one of the great global challenges of our time, saving rainforests and giving hope to endangered orangutans. Their task is enormous and the odds are against them. Jojo, an orphaned baby orangutan, is entrusted in their care and they must find a way to return her to her forest home. To do this, they need to build an orangutan rehabilitation centre and find ways to help the local communities protect their forest. Under the guidance of their mentor Dr Willie Smits, they introduce an innovative satellite monitoring system called Earthwatchers and enlist the help of school students around the world. The system is put to the test when the bulldozers move in and threaten the future of a nearby community living in a traditional longhouse. This is a story about what it takes it be an eco-warrior, an individual willing to step up and take action to avert a global catastrophe taking place before our eyes. The eco-warriors represent a new generation, ready to face what is happening on our planet and willing to do something, no matter how small, to build a more humane and balanced world. For them, every individual matters, every action counts.

| The AustralianEvan WilliamsMy one complaint with this one is it lacks a clear and authoritative narrative voice. What is this cage, I wondered... All becomes clear if we pay attention, and in the end we rejoice in the young warriors' enthusiasm. We need such people. |
| User ReviewTimm SThe rise of the eco-warriors is a good doco. It is a bit drawn out in the start, but after the first 30 minutes the pacing picks up. The "eco-warriors" are definitely an interesting group to follow. It is well shot, the b-roll is excellent. Brilliant concept. Could be improved, but then again nothing is perfect. |
