Ebier Suth Cokran – A Beacon of Hope

Our favourite genre of film project are those that tell a story of inspiration. Telling the story of people and communities who are actively working in conservation or community building are always a pleasure to narrate. One such project we produced in 2025 is “A Beacon of Hope” the story of Ebier Suth Cokran. Ebier Suth Cokran is a cacao farming enterprise with a difference. Located in Ransiki, West Papua Province, this regenerative agroforesty project is designed to create a community led initiative.

This area was an exciting new destination for us. Located on the shores of Cendrawasih Bay, south of Manokwari, Ransiki is a beautiful area. Surrounded by lush mountains and blue seasons, it’s a picture perfect location. The team we worked with on location made this project inspiring and exciting. Ebier Suth Cokran, with the cooperation of the local government acquired the land of an abandoned cacao farm to create this fresh undertaking.

A Local Co-operative

The unique part of this business is that it’s a 100% community owned co-op. The people who own, manage, and run the entire operation are the local people who once worked on the old farm. They successfully produce cacao for export as well as produce their own chocolate for the Indonesian market.

We visited them on location to document the processes and people that make it work. It was a joy to watch and listen to the passion that everyone has in the project. It’s not just a job to them, it is their heart and soul, their pride and joy. The best way to illustrate this is to introduce the people themselves. We are happy to share this 20 minute film that tells the story of the people and the agro-forestry techniques they use to make the magic happen.
