May 6 – The Borneo Case – Movie night and talk with the director

This Monday UF invites you to watch the documentary The Borneo Case, after the screening we will hear director and filmmaker Erik Pauser speak about the making of the film and the current situation on Borneo and in Malaysia

In The Borneo Case, documentary filmmakers Erik Pauser and Dylan Williams spend five years intimately following the trail of an unlikely group of activists whose aim is to investigate how profits from the illegal logging that has annihilated more than 90% of the Malaysian Borneo Rainforest, have been money laundered into property portfolios all around the world. The group, made up of an exiled tribesman, a historian, an investigative journalist and a flamboyant DJ overcome death threats and intimidation in their efforts to unravel what has been dubbed “the Greatest Environmental Crime in History”.
