Summary:
In 1984, thirty-year-old Bruno Manser visited Borneo for the first time and instantly fell in love with the land and its people. For the next decade and a half, he lived with the Penan tribe in Sarawak, and helped them organize against powerful multinational logging conglomerates attempting to deforest Penan land. The Malaysian government labeled Manser an enemy of the state and placed a bounty on his head. Then, in May 2000, the Swiss activist disappeared near the sacred Penan peak of Batu Lawi, and was never seen again.
