Strange birds in paradise a West Papuan story

"While the Indonesian army continues to dominate the indigenous inhabitants of West Papua, Hill-Smith records the fate of West Papuans against a backdrop of covert military violence. In the West Papuan highlands Hill-Smith - an Australian writer, cartoonist and comedian - hears stories of escape, oppression and exile and listens to the defiant songs of murdered musician and independence hero Arnold Ap. Together with friends Donny Roem, a recent exile, and Jacob Rumiak, a child soldier in the West Papuan resistance movement, Hill-Smith returns to Melbourne to record outlawed folksongs with renowned Australian musicologist David Bridie."--Container.
