Kantri Bilong Yumi / The Madens Papua New Guinea

The Maden family has a look at contemporary Papua New Guinea through its personal memories. The father was a sorcerer and the mother, a devout Catholic. The children are villager, elementary school teacher, filmmaker etc. Their collective memories paint the portrait of contemporary Papua New Guinea through three generations, successively confronted with the white colonial world, then with their country's independence. Independence, which stirred up a lot of hope and influenced a large number of choices in life.
