Remembering Papua New Guinea
The film celebrates Papua New Guinea's rich cultural and environmental tapestry through the reenacted stories and present challenges of a handful of indigenous tribes from the island nation. According to Sacred Ecology in the Pacific Islands, the 'ethnosphere' and the biosphere are a single integrated whole. 'Remembering Papua New Guinea' wants to offer a singular vision of the web of life that encompasses nature, wildlife, and people, both past and present, across the country. This celebration of the island's unique diversity is ultimately juxtaposed with a report, made by Global Witness and producer Alessio Bariviera, on environmental and human rights abuses fueled by demand for raw timber and agricultural commodities.
