The Straits Times has an article about the release of the film on Youtube after multiple instances of censorship and/or intimidation.

A documentary that Indonesian authorities tried to silence has been watched more than six million times on YouTube in just three days.

Film-makers uploaded Pesta Babi: Kolonialisme Di Zaman Kita (Pig Feast: Colonialism In Our Time) on May 22 following a wave of disrupted screenings across Indonesia. For many observers, it was a textbook Streisand effect: The harder officials tried to suppress it, the louder it became.

...screenings were disrupted or cancelled in several cities, including Ternate in North Maluku, Mataram in West Nusa Tenggara, and Bandung in West Java.

...attempts to suppress the film had “turned a limited-distribution documentary into a nationwide conversation” about Papua, censorship and state power.

Streisand effect.

It would be interesting when one of these movies gets an Oscar or something like that.
