Since years the Kulon Progo community is fighting by means of demonstrations, confrontations and office occupations and defends itself against attacks of thugs paid by the mining companies.

The struggle of the peasants of Kulon Progo reaches beyond their own community. The attempts to create a bigger autonomous peasant movement are being made and there is a growing solidarity network between different struggling communities in Indonesia and beyond.

In October 1993 Charlie Ryder took part in a demonstration to shut down the BNP headquarters in Welling, south-east London. This developed into a serious riot, and a few months later he was featured on the TV show Crime Monthly.
He was arrested and after a two year wait was sent to prison for 16 months. In prison Charlie kept a scrapbook to record poems, letters and art work. Charlie, not a professional actor but an open and impassioned performer, has brought the scrapbook to life as a full production.
