Synopsis:
On 23 October 2007, Kelesau Naan, the Headman of the Penan village, Long Kerong, left his wife at a rest area in the forest to check on his traps. He never returned. Two months later his remains were found scattered across the Segita River. Presented by his son Nick Kelesau, The Headman explores the events leading up to his disappearance. Kelesau Naan sought only to protect his people and their native customary right to the land they have lived on for centuries. His struggles may well had been his peril, but as Nick and his fellow Penan explain, his legacy endures.
