In this entertaining documentary Charlie Hill-Smith takes us on a journey of discovery in West Papua. Hill-Smith is an informative and engaging guide. His familiarity with Indonesia, built up through many visits, and his close ties with a family there, mean he can communicate well in West Papua, where years of Indonesian rule have made their language more widely used than the multitude of original Papuan tongues.
Hill-Smith focuses on the power of music to unify and strengthen West Papuans, both within the country and those in exile, particularly a small community in Melbourne, Australia.
Effectively incorporating sections of animation, this award-winning film casts a discerning eye on the realities of Indonesian occupation and the ongoing efforts for freedom in West Papua.
