Film series "Shared Histories – Collaboration in Ethnographic Film"

Based on true events, Papua New Guinea‘s first telenovela marks 25 years in the village of Lopatena. After its destruction in a long-running tribal war, the scattered community members return to rebuild their village and homes. The script was developed on location with the community members acting out their lives and stories.
