Tong Tana 2 - The Lost Paradise

Bruno Manser the main character of our film where in the end of November 2000, two months after we finished our film reported missing in the jungle - most probably he has been killed. This film is a follow up of a film also made by Charon film in 1989 called Tong Tana - A journey to the heart of Borneo. The first film was about one of the greatest ecological catastrophes of our time, the destruction of the world’s oldest rainforest. It was also a film about one of the last nomadic tribes on earth, the Penans who have lived in the same way for thousands of years. A Swiss, Bruno Manser was living with them. At the time, he had been in the jungle for six years.
