A film is publicly screened at the Wallacea Week event in Fort Rotterdam, Makassar, South Sulawesi, Friday (22/11/2019). A number of films about the journey of Alfred Russel Wallace, as well as the biological wealth and people\'s lives in the Wallacea region, were screened in this event. Wallacea Week runs until Thursday (28/11/2019).

Alfred Russel Wallace has left his legacy in not only eastern Indonesia but also the world. After more than 150 years, he has again set sail in a film that was screened in Makassar, attracting viewers to follow in his wake, some even earning scars as a rite of passage.

Amrullah “Amrul”, 20, could not have imagined it, but a documentary he watched on Sunday (24/11/2019) at the Rumata Artspace in Makassar, South Sulawesi, brought back memories of an experience he had over six years ago. Seated among an audience of more than 20 people in the main hall on that warm day, he followed the journey of Alfred Russel Wallace, the English naturalist, anthropologist and biologist who shook the world through his explorations and ideas.
