English | 35mm/16mm/video | Colour with Sound | 72 min

Using an observational style without commentary, the film follows tourists as they visit the Sepik River region in New Guinea. The film shows the tourists’ reactions in interviews and observes their behaviour as they photograph the indigenous people and purchase souvenirs. The Papua New Guineans speak to camera about their point of view of tourism. They comment that tourism provides income and introduces western ideas.
