Contents/Summary
- Summary
- The film follows the human face of logging in Papua New Guinea. It is a tale of exploitation and broken promises in Papua New Guinea where local people are treated as second-class citizens in their own country by Malaysian logging companies and corrupt politicians. Customary landowners are forced into signing documents they don’t understand, for the promise of “development”, fresh water, health and education, but these essential services are rarely provided. Instead, their traditional hunting grounds are destroyed, waterways are polluted, and their way of life is ruined forever.
