In the middle of a Borneo rainforest, a band of near-naked Penan tribesmen, encouraged by an equally clothes-challenged renegade Swiss shepherd, hesitantly blockade a logging truck, testing their commitment to protect their forest home.

Meanwhile, loggers are busy at work, devastating the rainforest. And rehabilitant orangutans are not playing nice.
