剧情介绍
A David-and-Goliath battle over a slice of Papua New Guinea paradise, Hollie Fifer’s documentary finally reaches our screens following court action in Australia.
The setting is the stunning peninsula of Paga Hill on Papua New Guinea’s Port Moresby harbour – the paradise everyone wants to claim. Joe Moses, leader of the Paga Hill settlement, must save 3000 people before they are evicted. Battling it out in the courts, Joe may find his four generation-old community replaced with an international five-star hotel and marina. In telling this probing story, the film highlights the massive gap between law and justice.
Australian director Fifer’s documentary was subject to an injunction last year, before a NSW Supreme Court ruling in favour of the production. The lengthy legal dispute raised questions about freedom of speech and the viability of independent filmmaking, quietly echoing Joe’s own struggle to be heard.

世界一體化外商進佔一遍功利社會盛行的同時,一幕幕欺壓剝削迫害同期上映,此片除了講述關於公義制約亦談及妥協與堅持的取捨,處理上亦非常成熟及乎合紀錄片的要求,值一看
