Cathy Henkel's powerful documentary exposed the effects of palm oil farming and was key in the start of a worldwide movement to save the Orangutans of Indonesia. Cathy Henkel will talk about activism through documentaries and FTI will have beanbags and popcorn.

Dorjee Sun, a young Australian Entrepreneur, believes there's money to be made from protecting rainforests in Indonesia, saving the orangutan from extinction and making a real impact on climate change. Armed with a laptop and a backpack, he sets out across the globe to find investors in his carbon trading scheme. It is a battle against time. Achmadi, the palm oil farmer is ready to set fire to his land to plant more palm oil, and Lone's orangutan centre has reached crisis point with over 600 orangutans rescued from the fires.
