Tewet, the Last Keeper of Borneo

This film profiles Tewet, an explorer in the Marang Mountains of Borneo who has long made his living harvesting the swallows' nests prized in Chinese cuisine. As the resource grows scarce, the documentary follows him through a rainforest under pressure from a changing world. His deep knowledge of the forest anchors a story about tradition meeting decline. It is an absorbing watch about the wild, indigenous livelihoods, and the last keepers of a vanishing way of life. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
