The story of a 50-year-old love affair between the inhabitants of Tanna in the South Pacific Vanuatu islands and America.
In 1939 Jon Frum, a mysterious man with a walking stick that is said to have 'shone', appeared on one of the island's beaches announcing he was from America and that the Americans would come to the island's aid.
