LIFE IN INDONESIA! - STUNNING Women, BAJAU Sea Nomads & 17,000 ISLANDS on the Ring on Fire!

What is life in Indonesia really like beyond Bali, beaches and tourist destinations? Indonesia is home to more than 17,500 islands, hundreds of languages and some of the most unusual traditions and communities on Earth. In this Indonesia documentary, we explore the controversial Mount Kemukus ritual once nicknamed “Sex Mountain,” the Bajau sea nomads who can dive 70 meters on a single breath, the Korowai who built homes high above the rainforest, and the Mentawai people whose tattoos and sharpened teeth carry deep cultural meaning. But perhaps the most unbelievable tradition is found in Tana Toraja, where some families may keep deceased relatives inside their homes for months or even years — speaking to them, bringing them food and treating them as part of the household until the final funeral ceremony takes place. We also explore Bali’s mysterious Day of Silence, why Jakarta is sinking, Indonesia’s enormous annual Mudik migration, its extraordinary biodiversity, cultural diversity and the rise of Southeast Asia’s largest economy. This is the real life in Indonesia — a country where ancient traditions, isolated communities and modern megacities exist side by side.
