This is a 21st century story of hard choices, told from the perspective of the Indonesian Army in the Province of Irian Jaya, Republic of Indonesia. Diplomacy, foreign direct investment and transmigration pit the Muslim culture of Javanese Imperialism against the Christian, Stone Age culture of the indigenous population. No two cultures could be further apart. The credits and debits of the prior centuries unfold here. This is a story of genocide.
