My Father, My Country In 1938, three Australian patrol officers set out on an extraordinary journey into the unexplored highlands of New Guinea. Their purpose was to make contact with Stone Age tribes who knew nothing of the white man or the outside world. They were to try to explain to the tribes that their lives were about to undergo incredible change.
Fifty years later, Meg Taylor , the Papuan daughter of the patrol's leader, took time off from her legal practice and, with the aid of her father's diaries, photographs and film, set off on her own journey of discovery - retracing the path of that first epic patrol. Producer PETER butt
