One of the best parts of my job is having the opportunity to meet amazing people who are on the front lines of nonviolent movements across the world. Earlier this year, I started an online initiative interviewing nonviolent action takers in order to share the stories, experiences, and perspectives of these individuals and their movements so that the rest of the world may be made aware of their struggle. In this interview I speak with Herman Wainggai, a leader in West Papua’s self-determination struggle.
This interview was filmed with the help of videographers Ryanne Hodson and Jay Dedman of RyanisHungry, who have been working with ICNC on several other initiatives.
