520    The film sets out to explore the workings and the influence of the Kivung, a powerful religious and political movement in Papua New Guinea. The Pomio Kivung Movement was founded in 1964 by Koriam, a local leader. In the face of official condemnation, its political and religious philosophy sought to uncover that path to a perfect existence, which the colonizing whites seemed to have found and selfishly monopolized. Kivung leaders scrutinized the revelations of missionaries for hidden truths and codes. They examined, too, forms of colonial governance – especially money and bureaucracy – for clues to the source of their power. Koriam’s central question was how to find a way back from the original ancestral fault that put his people in a state of subjugation. He incorporated and localized parts of Christianity whilst seeking an ever closer embrace with the beloved dead. Australian anthropologist Andrew Lattas and philosopher-informant Peter Avarea of Matong village, Pomio, Papua New Guinea guide us through the intricacies of the resulting religious practices.
