About The Story

Sha (Butet Manurung) always dreamed of adventure. After studying in Bandung, she became a forest conservation officer and journeyed into the jungles of Sumatra. There, she met the Orang Rimba—an Indigenous forest tribe struggling to survive as loggers destroyed their home and tricked them into signing contracts they couldn’t read. Butet didn’t turn away. Instead, she lived among them, faced dangers from wild animals, and survived on forest food. With deep respect and care, she began teaching the tribe to read and write, empowering them to protect themselves and their land. A true story of Indonesia’s Ashoka Award-winning changemaker
