Mild themes and violence
When a proposed copper-gold mine threatens Papua New Guinea’s Sepik River, Indigenous leader Emmanuel Peni and communities along the river unite to protect their land, culture and future. Drawing upon ancestral knowledge and their spiritual connection to the river, they confront colonial power structures, extractive development and the potentially devastating environmental consequences of the project.
