The group, made up of an exiled tribesman, a historian, an investigative journalist and a flamboyant DJ overcome death threats and intimidation in their efforts to unravel on what has been dubbed "the Greatest Environmental Crime in History" (ex British Prime Minister Gordon Brown). One of the weapons of the group is to start Radio Free Sarawak - a pirate radio station. Suddenly in a country were the government keeps a tight control of media, people get news and for the first time get information on what's going on. This film starts in Montreal where former activist Mutang Urud lives in exile. After enduring torture and imprisonment for his role in attempting to stop the illegal logging of his people's lands, the Kelabit tribesman was forced to flee more than 20 years ago. However when he hears a podcast from an illegal radio station - Radio Free Sarawak - of plans to build 12 New Hydropower Dams - one of which will completely drown the valley of his birth, He is compelled to travel home. Simultaneously, from its secret location in London, the journalists of the Radio Station, Clare Rewcastle, and DJ Peter Jaban seek to investigate what has happened to the billions of dollars of profits from the illegal logging.
