The data were obtained by using reading, note- taking, analyzing techniques through an ecocriticism approach to literary works and to classify the types that contained in the movie script, the writer used theory of Greg Garrad. This research employs an ecocriticism approach to analyze the environmental issues and ecological interactions in both the Bajo tribe and the movie script. The research objectives include identifying environmental issues in the Bajo tribe and the movie, describing the interrelationship between humans and nature in both contexts. The significance of this study lies in its contribution to enriching the analysis of environmental themes in literary works, particularly in the context of ecocriticism. The findings reveals that both tribes shared narrative of industrial-driven degradation, the prioritization of economics over ecological health, and the vulnerability of indigenous communities.
