My father is from Sarawak - a Malaysian state in Borneo. Roughly 10 years after this film was taken my granparents and my dad's older siblings were heading up a Borneo river - the Rajang - to live in the "ulu ulu" (jungle) with Iban people because the Kemper Tai (Japanese secret police) had my grandfather on a list for imprisonment or execution, because he was a "letter writer" - someone who acted as a lawyer for poorer people and that made him a potential organiser of resistance in the mind of the Kemper Tai. My family is ethnically chinese so the Iban people didn't really have any obligation to take them in as far as I know, and they were probably taking a huge risk if/when the Japanese visited the long house. But the Ibans took them in anyway, and my grandparents and uncles and aunties survived the war. My uncles and aunties employed Iban people when they could after the war.
The first video definitely not in Borneo and not indigenous Dayak people. It think it was filmed in Malaya, and the indigenous people in that part of the video are Orang Asli people of Malaya.
Thank you very much for the information - our archive's accuracy relies on descriptions (both taken at the time of film and in the decades since). Some of these descriptions may be inaccurate - sorry that this looks like the case for that particular segment. We will update the video's description with the details you have kindly given.
@@britishpathe judging from the general appearance of the people in the first part of the video, like their face, hair and style of clothing, they definitely Orang Asli (Austroasiatic people), a non-Austronesian speaking people from Malay Peninsula. Also the nose-quill culture shown in the video, is not found anywhere among the tribal group of Dayak in Borneo. It only existed in West Malaysia (Malay Peninsula), for example among the Senoi people, one of tribal group of Orang Asli in Malay Peninsula. You are welcome.
No not true just look at they dress it part of Indonesian lol even how rail train can get in Malaya 😂 I read history British never build such trail in Malaya
@@britishpatheThat is not true you must follow where this film take if this film written with the real place that mean this is part 100% traditions. Don't ever ljsten to this guy try to fake everything
I should have bought bitcoins during this era...we should bring back steam powered contraptions today, theyre much more efficient than any fossil fuel or battery powered machines!!
steam power locomotives back then only have 11% efficiency compared to the 28% of diesel locomotive or the near 90% efficiency of modern steam turbines used in power plants today

Little did these people know of the horrors that were to come to their beautiful land a few years later.
Krakatoa erupt in 1883, so this was well after the eruption.
@@YusssoM I was talking about the Japanese invasion and the 2nd WW.
they were already being oppresed by dutch imperialism....viva revolucion!
@@lablackzed as well as the brutality of the western/white people.
@@ramzen1976 theres a well known slogan here that says "3 years of japanese occupation is worse than 300 years of netherlands occupation"
Excelente conteúdo.
Thank you!
Would love to know more about which railway and area of Java this is if anybody knows?
Amazing that they were able to film this eruption back in 1933.
Thanks for sharing this
Hello everybody ❤ Im from java Indonesia 🇮🇩
0:51 dayum wtf they teach those childrens to smoke
3:26 "...in the year 1883..." The screen shows 1933.
It was filmed in 1933, but he was talking about the catastrophic explosion in 1883.
Colonisation at it best 😂
Hardly appropriate music. Something a little more 'indigenous' might have suited the footage better...
its the brits whatcha expect
Oh yes because inserting something stereotypical and not accurate to the cultures shown is much more sensitive.
@@dampfoxes Doesn't necessarily need to be 'stereotypical' per se - just something closer to 'representational'. And no need to be so snotty, BTW...
Anak Krakatau , not Krakatoa
Сolonialism.

But then the elites can't truly destroy us. The whole point was to make us dependent and then pull the rug from under us.
steam power locomotives back then only have 11% efficiency compared to the 28% of diesel locomotive or the near 90% efficiency of modern steam turbines used in power plants today
@@Loli4lyf i meant super heated steam
