Indonesia: Irian Jaya - A Lot at Stake (the fight for control of gold)
7 minutes, 2002
Ref: 135

We take you deep into one of the most remote jungles of the world, to the frontline of another battle for independence brewing in Indonesia. A year and a half ago, East Timor broke free, but only after bloody massacres by pro-Indonesian militias forced the U.N. to intervene. Now, the latest region pushing for independence, is Irian Jaya-- or, to its pro-independence residents, West Papua. There's a lot a stake, not the least of which is control of the richest gold deposit in the world.
