  • "'First contact' documents the first contact between two cultures and also records the impressions, some fifty years later, of both the surviving Australian gold prospectors and the highlanders they encountered. The documentary is based on films & photographs shot in the 1930s by Michael and Daniel Leahy, the first Europeans to encounter the inhabitants of the central New Guinea highlands, whose existence had not been previously known. 'Joe Leahy's neighbours' is about Leahy, a wealthy mixed race coffee planter and businessman, who lives a western lifestyle in the Papua New Guinea highlands. His neighbours, the Ganiga tribe, eke out a subsistence lifestyle. They too want money, but none of them has prospered. 'Black harvest' is a real-life drama about two ambitious men vying for power, of two cultures racing towards head-on collision and of a dream that turns sour."@en
