Alkinemokiye: From Struggle Dawns New Hope

On 15 September 2011, 8,000 of the 22,000 workers at Freeport Indonesia went on strike, demanding a rise in pay from 3.50 to 7.50 US dollars an hour. It was the longest and largest strike since the company began mining in Papua in 1967.

Alkinemokiye, by Watchdoc’s Dandhy Dwi Laksono, follows the strike and places it in the history of the mine: at least eleven Freeport employees and contractors shot dead by unknown gunmen between 2009 and 2011, and tens of millions of dollars in “security funds” paid by Freeport to Indonesian officials.
