In Indonesia, poverty and violence will continue to happen and would never go far from the farmers and the circumference of the communities living around the forest, unless they are given the socio-economic benefits from forests and are not just told to carry the slogan, "DO NOT cut trees! DO NOT clear up FOREST! "The question is, can it happen? The existing forestry law is one-sided, worse, it even makes farmers who are dependent on forest becomes easily criminalized. This film is a journey to find a fair solution to complicated issues between farmers and forests. A sparkle of hope comes, not from large forest areas and centre of forestry issues such as in Kalimantan and Sumatra, but from Java island, in a place called Sarongge, located a hundred kilometers from Indonesia's capital, Jakarta. A radio station named Green Radio, attempts to bring together farmers towards sustainable and well-preserved forests.
