Buol peasants vs PT. Hardaya
During 20 years of struggle to regain their lands and improve working conditions on oil palm plantations, the villagers of Buol, Indonesia, have had little but empty words from the company and the government. The only real gains they have made have come from direct actions. However, the risk with actions such as roadblocks and occupations is violent repression. Now the villagers are optimistic that they are finally close to getting their lands back.
