4: Return to Paradise
The electronic media are rapidly shrinking the vast distances of the Pacific and making human isolation a thing of the past. Satellite television and video cassettes have reached the remotest Pacific island, but they are a mixed blessing.
Films and videos are usually packaged in Los Angeles,
Tokyo, or London and they are often aggressively commercial. To island leaders they are 'electronic imperialism', to the Chinese 'spiritual pollution'.
There is a danger that the people of the Pacific will imitate what they see on TV and abandon their own traditional way of doing things, but today there is cause for optimism. The
Japanese have shown that foreign ideas may be imported without losing national identity and others are determined to follow their lead.
Throughout the islands of the South Pacific, the people are rallying to the defence of their language and culture. Narrated by Peter France Film editor MALCOLM DANIEL Produced and directed by MICHAEL MACINTYRE
