Forgotten Bird of Paradise is a 2009 documentary film directed by British filmmaker Dominic Brown, about the struggle for independence being fought in the Indonesian region of West Papua.

[1] The film was shot undercover, and includes interviews with human rights victims and political prisoners, as well as footage of separatist guerrillas at their jungle stronghold.

Brown travelled and filmed in West Papua without the permission of the Indonesian authorities, putting himself in great danger.

[2] Brown reflected that on West Papua the situation was "like apartheid", and likened the transmigration program and anti-secession policies to "genocide".

There is also footage from a National Liberation Army (TPN) camp led by one of the armed resistance leaders, General Goliath Tabuni.
