Description

Gift from filmmaker. Joan is a fellow activist from LA. The box says "FABULOUS FORESTS: Cameroon/Indonesia Part One" on the top. My guess is that she recorded over the original tape to give me this dub. When I digitized it at the Brooklyn College Faculty Lab the tape slowed down and stopped the recording. It is now in two digitized parts, listed below.
