Fresh Fruit Bunch (2023) depicts a scene that appears in the documentary film charting Maryanto’s journey to the Kalimantan forests and interacting with the indigenous people there to understand the extent of destruction happening in the region. He brings attention to the issue of transmigration in Borneo, which has in part resulted in the transformation of the island’s landscape. In the 1970s, the government introduced the notion of land ownership and the issuance of permits to businessmen, which led to a surge of companies from outside Kalimantan arriving and clearing the swaths of forests for cultivation. The Plasma Program was launched to support transmigrant communities to establish their own palm oil plantations and gain ownership of the land. Eventually, more land was cleared to make room for these new settlers or transmigrants.
