The Pillar Of Strength

When human beings value the life of nature, where they respect and learn from it, then it can strengthen the loving relationship between nature and human.

The Pillar of Strength is a narrative storytelling about the people in the Borneo archipelago who adhere to the belief of their ancestors that the God of War, 'Sengalang Burong,' who comes from heaven as a respected and dignified god, who has a spiritual energy that is considered to be an intermediary between human life, animals and nature.

Rentap is the son of an Iban tribal warrior in the Borneo island where his father was a respected warrior and held fast to the hereditary beliefs of his ancestors. When an accident occurred while hunting in the jungle, Rentap got the encouragement from the War God ‘Sengalang Burong’ who helped him identify his origins and led him to take responsibility as an Iban child who set an example to his people by holding the slogan ‘Agi Idup, Agi Ngelaban’.
