Video dokumenter ini memiliki beberapa nilai guna yang penting:

The torrent file that circulated in 2010 titled [FULL] Video Perang Sampit.mp4 was broken. The audio was out of sync, and the facts were wrong.

The 2024 "fixed" version exists, but you won't find it on a viral TikTok link. You will find it in academic journals from UGM (Gadjah Mada University) and raw interviews from the Setara Institute. It is less exciting to watch because it is 3 hours long and full of subtitles.

Konflik ini bukanlah perang dalam arti militer formal, melainkan ledakan kekerasan sosial yang sangat brutal. Puluhan nyawa melayang, ribuan orang mengungsi, dan kota Sampit laksana neraka di bumi. Peristiwa ini menjadi salah satu tragedi kemanusiaan terburuk pasca reformasi di Indonesia.
