Yumi Yet - Independence for Papua New Guinea
This award-winning film celebrates Independence Day in Papua New Guinea - attended by Prince Charles as The Queen's representative.
In a mere 100 years Papua New Guinea has changed from a widely diverse collection of warring tribes into an embryo nation ready to apply for membership of the UN. This film shows, with humour and understanding, how some of the most primitive people in the world face up to becoming the world's 142nd nation state.
Film cameraman RICHARD MARKS Film editor TOM FOLEY
Producer DENNIS O'ROURKE
Presented by DAWN A. SWERLlNG Series editors ANTHONY ISAACS and MICHAEL ANDREWS
(On 22 October The World About Us shows Papua New Guinea's first election)
