com. this is the final image of bruno munson. taken a few days before he disappeared for a into the borneo jungle. we had been making a documentary. almost the last to see about. it to those started many years or so when bruno had left his home in switzerland

in order to escape the developed world. but soon he realized that the paradise he had found was under threat. together with his past friendly time they decided to rally the people to make a stand by building book aids to stop the locusts. we have been endowed farmers in the jungle to release out of our robot if and when people come in it is like they are coming into our house and steal and take things away without the police and educated but nothing to drink because. some people say that. we are fighting a loosing battle. tonight against the company and against government.

when the blockades were right. it was no with the choice to take the fight to the next level. together they traveled out to rally the world. to the chose action. must be supine know what we know mindset 1st to moment of stupidity see to tell madame had she simply didn't know said defies this room i see without watch. you turn chose diplomacy and met leaders of the world. the price he paid upon his return to sorrow walk. was prison and torture.

bruno became more desk. brit and confronted those he held responsible. i think they are doing this on. an accident a stunt or could have been murdered a swiss environmentalist a major irritant to the parties of malaysia in borneo has mysteriously disappeared last may he crossed the border from indonesia and tripped into the dense jungle of and has not been seen since. when we turn was released from solitary confinement. he felt he had no choice but to flee into exile. in the years that passed. we could never forget. what happened to the time after the disappearance of pretty. much of the people he left behind.

you. for the 1st few years when i came to canada i always ask myself why me you know. i was very young and i was away from my own community you know i'm all alone. i didn't really want to be in canada i didn't mean to be you know and when people

on the street you know said go back to your country. you know i often hear that. when i pass by people and i said you know if you know me i really didn't want to be in your country. because of what i you know i went through it and i'm i'm here. yes. if. he planned. on this gun saddam and going on radio free so what were some psycho john john i thought of it acknowledged the guy would be done with it and. that it would not go up on. some good comedic i might get that not going to rush out there who got.

to read not to my doc got to be the company didn't he come up with me so i want. to make one right now but i broke i want them. to look eat eat eat eat eat eat eat i'm from one of them die young that would not do it. we were thinking that stopping them logging would be the end of it. if that did we know about its relentless this attack onslaught on the line of all people. to me is almost like a final solution. 15 years after bruno's death we find ourselves speaking pulled back into the story again. we decide to seek out the source of

the times news. i am. one we tracked down malicious. the only independent radio station. we was surprised to find them working in a cramped apartment in central london. undiscovered stuff but they got rid of 3 so i walked. by the show under the tree trying to make it stronger that they often show up it's like 5 minutes to look at some of what ya i am radio program yeah well one for you is this apprentice 2 shows they walk by.

i grew up and saw. michael tonight people on cell phones a fountain you know as if i was one of them because that's who i grew up with. very few people i met nature and i found out of this place. but i kept my ears open and i began to hear about the british very worrying things that were happening to the environment and the people via. it was a good 13 years before i went back to borneo. it was not a pretty situation to have to see what has happened in increasing this many a scene of utter devastation. and. you got to the stage where i was finding myself lying in bed and nice to hear you know how can i just ignore this. knowing what's happening.

in a country where the media is dominated by the governing clique and there really was a moment to express the side. but i'm kept mentioning it to people. so what we really need is reigning station and cyrus session about found out that actually the world specialised in this social regime is about 2 miles down the road from me in london. with a window of opportunity to reach the people in the jungle my friend here. in our big objective is to give a voice to people who have never had a voice before. i'd heard about this activist x.t. jam. find find out how to contact forum and snuck into syria we had

a 10 minute meeting to fancy coming to britain to run a radio station yeah and that was it. i've always been a. but i never knew that one day i would be of such deeds in my own country. nobody dares to speak out and nobody dares. to say things about the government or criticise the government. so i was thinking to myself let me break the ice and tell everyone what's going on. london had. skelly like the sandwich council might but that think about the under under under done under. sculley argument is one of my biggest mobile opening

on. the media got but i now. know what must be. on my. view. on. the. ground with ask myself why me you know. how i am from people who. are in from the forest that i care for. this was the longest look around we had mined mobs. about 20300 people staying at a time you this one time when i said well you know to heck with my consequences the land is more important the force is more important

so that's why right there and then on somewhere on this mountain i decided ok i'll go on underwater. for the 1st time $3000.00 and natives lift their homeland to tell the world of their plight. we went to 24 cities and 13 countries. living in the plane the airports and between the borders. to me there was so much hope in the world to save us. when i went to the unit the next and i thought the government of government where there can make decisions over and above serve our community. so i don't rock indigenous peoples alliance. as

a very naive person and i thought bad. things will change. mr president distinguished guest fellow tribal leaders let 1993 be of indigenous people and bring peace and hope a year for their storage of their bleeding forest let this year get its message. into the forests of borneo to the woman who. pray. in the night that the best of our children. will not be like hers. and i said what am i doing you know. if i do all these thing outside the world north about it but nothing is happening to

protect our forests it doesn't help. one. i became. misuse of the body about all this campaign overseas. if my voice my what does not carry weight back home it's useless for me. welcome back our little crime watch your host off how can a civil servant just personal fortune. dealing in dollars easy

just destroy the fairy ring force you have trusted to protect that's the charge being leveled against this man is they those. of the. guy even is the chief minister of surat. a law or just have malaysia's keen states and one of 2 states located on the rain forest rich island of borneo. how did this gentleman he then has such a fortune. type mahmoud 1st came to power 33

years ago. from a simple background he had been granted the scholarship to study low. soon afterwards he gained the powerful position of minister forestry. time i preached modernization. he saw the 130000000 year old rain forest. is the fuel that would propel satow back into the future. morning i wanted to like how many morning i mean it don't you just once again that

it's a how to do it it's a find out of the skins how do you know and i mean. under tiger a sound i was being a dog just exports of tropical timber in the world. today almost 90 percent of the primary rain forest is gone. and were no. let me put to

you nice allegations that person me you have benefited but your family a benefits in that maybe you have been easy on mortgages you want to develop land in return for benefits to you 1st of all i would like to see it is my family and myself are doing well that it is nothing to do with sex but they should taking anything out of this country. the laws of the state strictly forbid politicians from earning money from private. business. the question was how a type of must so much family wealth. over the years. anybody can get it if they have something up there but if you don't have it . can do.

it. it's extraordinary really because neighbors who has really got down to systematically investigating tied me and. todd mood has absolutely no to just not might be a wealthy man he has been a public servant since he left university i spent a couple months researching it 1st looking for stories we are asked about and got a few breaks and i soon began to get some really good information. i had heard that somebody was taking legal action against the tide family.

and i spent about 3 months trying to find out who asked for it was i'm talking to. you hearing agree with. you want a piece of your good luck. he was in the round estate business and what with the time family for 12 years or. until we fell out with them. the key thing was that he was able to give me documents. earthsea exterior that time to time personally for the very 1st time to these vast properties in the united states. he was a director of the company that owned them and he was also privately shown to be the

chief shareholder. something he's always avoided being made public. that was very valuable information but ross was able to provide me with. for years the over the scale and all these answers. i had no idea whether anyone was going to read my blog and suddenly i was getting fountains of hits a day and. we went up to 100000 a day hits he had to get also some new provisions in place to way to cope with such a huge number of readers. to begin with turning up the on thing in the morning deem them all you and disturb them and then people start coming to you. people from right within where then times in a circle. claire became something of

a whistleblower hotline was the radio station developed into the voice and position . back in montreal. is becoming more distressed as he learns that the dam survey is have already moved into his own valley. commute. for decades i. wouldn't. i know i have this wonderful family here here in colorado. they are my 1st thing in my life.

but at the same time. 59 continuous i don't know what do we call a home. can you ever detach yourself to something be so so close to your heart. even though i tried to go out of it. i can never forget it. i have to go back i have to rally my community this is the last opportunity the last chance.

to meet they want him back i'm going to. try to get near them and they. all. look good this looks like a sea goodness but i'm allowed out but nothing no done to me but i'm allowed to do that up by the law goes on these are modern to our. office over talent but by. no man having been a bad boy out of it or not under. police that are coming out of my back

and i walked. in that would have. come in when a company that was a boy you understand about the level of the public of good doesn't want to love the knowledge of the law. if you bring the elders back you're looking at least they were right. when we meet clear again she's deeply involved in digging through the labyrinth of companies that seem to have links to time. she travels to the bruno mansour fund to

meet her closest ally lucas strom. ross was keeping everything by the end he wasn't throwing any pieces of paper away and you know i think this is interesting. all these beds are very interesting i mean the smoking gun it's these yeah i mean all this is sort of entry everything's but with this i mean he really has a problem. shortly after bruno disappeared lucas took over the reins of the foundation that bruno had established. he knew instinctively that they had to take a new direction and since then he had been at the forefront of investigating the timber industry. everyone knows there is a huge corruption involved in the tropical timber business and the world bank says it interpol says it everyone knows it. my impression was we have to do more on

the legal side. we have to tackle the system and we have to follow the money. they're all spoiled papers are a real breakthrough for the thai prime an empire is bigger more complex and more global than we ever imagined we even found that his family owns the f.b.i. building in seattle what we have to do now is dig deep roots and try to find out how much they really own all of the worlds. thank. you tom. oh. no. i don't really remember to. my mind if you don't like it but if

i'm going to you know what it could be anything to filling the vacuum with a yeah yeah. yeah now my no no can mean you have make a little yes yes but not a rule. i. thought only through. not me so i know. the how many think i'm not wanted to. and i'm wrong i'm in the. get on the bio and i think. they thought men only knew coming out to mom but not give it to. finding one company may. be the make everything. you know one.

time reflects over the flooding of his home busy his mind to to what he can do to stop it. we follow him to switzerland we travels to meet up with those who took a brutal fight for the rights of the planet. oh

you don't get when you want to be fun but hey i. know you got the kind of down to earth and they have a subsidiary in the u.k. . this is the 2nd way. i've been to last there and so much so well i mean well the obvious. lucas in close investigation into companies linked to type a they introduce them to the inner workings of the global financial system. here i see. their research i don't covered an international web full of offshore bank accounts holding companies and wealth managers. the scale of money laundering from morgan worldwide is massive. interpol has estimated that

more than $30000000000.00 on norms of the you. know the bank's money laundering regulations lay down strict rules for doing business with politicians with these regulations or any policed by the banking industry itself. the type has always denied personally profiting from the land but many have questioned how a public servant on a modest salary has apparently become so well so. we've linked time and those close to him to $400.00 companies in $25.00 countries. goldman sachs u.b.s. gave massive loans to the type of new strange. ages b.c. had all the major plantation local companies on their books the biggest of them all probably would be dodger bank. joint you're back has had

a very close on lasting association with the time family. they set up a joint venture with a type family in malaysia. through which to tie primaries personal real estate in north america is being held. often corruption is referred to as the crime without victims but it's not true. we should not base our allegations on the rumors or suspicions we should try to base trouble and complaints on facts and evidence. that. it's now an interesting moment in history. that we keep attacking the type now and pressured it over different channels and shame them internationally. it's clara there's a huge story just come out of malaysia are all the blogs going with it.

after 3 years or 3 radio free show up i might as well exit polls myself. when they try to scare you if you are afraid your own risk for it. so i decided to pull back. anything happens to me at least the media are wrong what's going on. we watch this to come pain become to create a momentum of its own. and the international media began to shine a spotlight on spilled lasers state of sarawak is touted insurers imagine as a paradise but it's lush tropical rain forest is disappearing at an astonishing rate a section of this tropical rain forest the size of england has been cut down tell

us what you think 12 new dams will do hundreds of square miles or a rain forest tropical rain forest and will be flooded fields for a walk plugged up. that's. buddy bucha me i'm i'm i'm. getting. i think i. was told i. was saying. was that. it. was no. one will be my belief to solve. the will the sun.

finally told a hard work was paying off. sara chief minister. mahmoud has announced that he successor. these up to handing over his resignation that's a. tight cease other than has the trust of not only the other candidates for chief minister but that of the whole but the present good woman. when the new chief minister comes to look to play lucas on the time together to the embassy to listen to what he has to say you can see the kids get messed up and spat ok and the emphasis is on my grades ok. i'm a. part of it. but

. you. have very real issues are. not enough. you know my very well being. careful about. the mobile. culture. i knew 2. hours right up. there you know we got. my moves to. no more.

one of them are no more. normal. my. right. i don't know whether this is too good to be true but the onus is on us that they came with his words and that was him this is why he said we're going to take you on your road and we don't going to help you if you if you want to go out on all my words no more . nimble you. know what can i say wow i'm. busy that. i'm.

no one ever imagined he'd leave his post. he had all the major political power and he was acting within a normal transparent environment. and all it did was actually take a bit of dedicated investigative activity. why don't we do you pick a single we need people doing this. this is a global crime and every jurisdiction is dying to offload the investigative job on to somebody else. that's what's happening.

in malaysia civil society started to flourish as free media outlets started to multiply and. now. they've lost their sense of moral authority their legitimacy. so they're going to be a little bit privateer and my view is that we challenge them. they're not what you thought of looking at some high level cups of osa. really coming out of what everyone was acting like a one on. one planet the story accusing the malaysian prime minister himself of muss of corruption over 500000 people took to the streets. a warrant was then issued for her asked

for activities that. sure mental to parliament she democracy. in sorrow on the new chief minister announced that the building of the logs would now be suspended. but no promise has been made about all that it may need done. it's on now regularly returns to the country he is helping to build a legal case to claim the land is safe one of the last pockets of forest that still remain.

secluded it's a photo of i mean look i'm not any my dot school we've got it in my mouth i think that i have you not i mean i don't know that i've got you i'm going to. look upon but. if you don't know your history what are you. and how can you put their lives up into the future if you don't know you it's. for me this is. not just a recording but also it's all of you i'm going to listen to see to be proud of who they are what their parents what their grandparents for.

i am not very creative yet but i would love to be considered an artist one day. everyone is talking about artificial intelligence and we are to. good computers and algorithms one dancer masterman creativity.
