Film Screening and Panel Discussion: Pig Feast

You’re invited to join JCoR for a virtual event in observance of the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples. We will be hosting a virtual film screening of Pig Feast: Colonialism in Our Time. This documentary examines contemporary colonialism, militarisation, and large-scale development projects in West Papua. The film will be followed by an interactive and action-oriented panel discussion, exploring a new conception of development that preserves life and the environment, upholds people’s dignity, and respects human rights. 

Date: 5 August 2026

Program: After short welcome and opening remarks, we will watch a one-hour cut of the film (each participant will view the documentary, simultaneously, from their own devices). At the conclusion of the film, we will regroup in the Zoom room for a panel discussion, composed of speakers who are indigenous activists, religious leaders, and scholars from across the globe. Following the panel discussion, we will open the floor for Q&A and a participatory discussion.
