Separatist rebels in Indonesia's Papua province have been fighting a low-level insurgency for more than forty years - but they are rarely seen. The military wing of the Free Papua Movement, or OPM, has control over some remote parts of Papua. The international media and many NGOs are banned from Papua, but that hasn't stopped a young film-maker from visiting and capturing rare video images of some OPM military camps. His film, called 'The Forgotten Bird of Paradise' has recently been released, and is due to be screened at Britain's Raindance film festival next month.
