Abstract

The issue regarding a unique isolated indigenous community (Orang Rimba/ Jungle people) in Jambi, Indonesia is the dispossession and alienation of their land and resources as a result of the expansion of palm oil (farming industry) and illegal logging. Consequently, the Orang Rimba has been forced to move to other forested areas as their settlements and resources for living become scarce. Besides moving to the other forested area, those indigenous communities have to live near the mainstream community. However, one of the biggest problem for those who choose to live in the mainstream community is that they cannot speak the language, they cannot read, write, and they do not know anything about modern world, such as, education, politics, money, clothes, vehicle, etc. As a result, this will not enable them to have “a highly integrated, well-functioning society”. Thus, Education is one way to develop them. However, they have many constraints in accessing formal education. Some of the constraints are categorized into external (unavailability of school near their area, teacher, and curriculum) and internal constraints, such as Melangun- leaving the place where indigenous community live, school uniform and refusal to go to school). These constrains in accessing formal education can be solved by building partnership (government, NGO, and Palm Plantation Company) and alternative education. The further research to find out the suitable education for orang Rimba should be conducted.

Cultural tensions that arise among families and in the broader community are depicted in the film.

In this study, researchers employed a qualitative research methodology to pay attention to the a subject of investigation and interpretation. Researchers used a qualitative research method in this research to pays attention to the object to be researched and interpreted. In this study, researchers used Sociocultural Approach theory from Lev Vygotsky, Cultural Conflict theory from Thorsten Sellin, and DMIS (Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity) theory from Milton Bennet. The source of the data in this study is a film entitled "East is East" in 1999 by writer Ayub Khan Din and director Damien O'Donnell. From the results of this study, based on the theory of Cultural Conflict by Thorsten Sellin, the researcher found 2 types of cultural conflict that occurred in the film, namely Primary and Secondary Conflict, then based on the cultural conflict, the researcher found out how the characters in the film deal with cultural conflict by using the theory by Milton Bennett's DMIS, namely 4 stages, denial, defense, minimization, and acceptance.
