This project follows the forgotten history of the Klungkung keris back to its origins and to its relevance to post-colonial Bali today, tracing the looting of the keris to modern day tourism in Bali. The film juxtaposes the “knowledge” of colonial archives against community-based knowledge and mythology, convoluting the understanding of what is preserved, what is dead and what is lost.
