Based on a true story from Butet Manurung’s memoirs. In The Jungle School, Butet (Prisia Nasution) is an activist working at a conservation organisation in Jambi, teaching literacy and maths to the children of an indigenous tribe in the upstream area of the Makekal River. After being saved by a boy from a community living in the downstream area, Butet wants to expand her jungle school but must contend with opposition. The indigenous tribe believes that learning will cause disasters in their village.
