As I noted on <a href="https://wagingnonviolence.org/2009/07/al-jazeera-pulls-film-on-nonviolent-resistance-in-west-papua/" target="_blank">this site</a>, the network was originally set to show the film in July 2009, but pulled it at the last minute. With a presidential election slated for later that month, it appeared that the documentary was postponed because of pressure from the Indonesian government.</p> <p>Nevertheless, &#8220;<a href="http://english.aljazeera.net/programmes/witness/2010/02/2010210182855844350.html" target="_blank">Pride of Warriors</a>&#8221; is still worth watching as a powerful introduction to desperate situation faced by West Papuans and their ongoing campaign for self-determination.
