Wild Boards - Papua New Guinea Feb 2007 Before they step foot in the water, members of the Sunset Surf Club in PNG have to make their own boards. It's the only place in the world where the surfboards come straight from the jungle. "We didn't have enough boards for all the kids so they started cutting up trees to make surfboards themselves", recalls club founder Stephen Tekwei. The perfect board requires the right tree, known locally as a Tapa. It takes just a few hours to carve a surfboard but it's not ready to surf until traditional village markings are applied.

The Last Cannibals - Papua New Guinea July 2006 We journey deep into the heart of West Papua to track down perhaps the last remaining cannibals in the world. The Korowai have lived by the same customs for 10,000 years. "It's normal. I don't feel sad or anything", states one tribesman, describing how he killed and ate his friend. The Korowai believe that deaths are caused by evil spirits. When a person dies, a frightening witch-hunt begins to find the person possessed and kill and eat him. Even children are vulnerable. A six-year-old boy has fallen under suspicion because his parents died suddenly. His uncle fears the boy will be killed when he reaches puberty. "The chances he'll survive are pretty small", states remote tribes expert Paul Raffaele. His only hope is that civilisation catches up with the Korowai in time to save him.

Huli Wigmen - Papua New Guinea March 2006 The PNG Huli men are said to be the fiercest warriors in the world. But they have a surprising soft side -- an obsession with hair. Boys spend years constructing elaborate wigs. "It is very important for a young Huli boy to have a wig. That's why the boys go to wig school", explains Huli Harold Hayake. To grow strong, healthy hair, the young men live together in a monastic lifestyle under the guidance of a wig master. Only after their wig is ready can they marry.

West Papua documentary (Part 1) - never screened outside UK THE AUSTRALIAN AND INDONESIAN GOVERNMENTS DO NOT WANT YOU TO SEE THIS DOCUMENTARY This is part 1 of an excellent and rare TV documentary about West Papua. A year on from its original UK screening it still has not been broadcast in any other country. In 2006 reporter Evan Williams gained access, on a tourist visa, to West Papua - a country to which journalists and foreign observers are flatly refused entry by the Indonesian government. After three weeks dodging Indonesian officials and police to gather interviews and information, he filed this report for Channel 4's "Unreported World" series. Part 1 (9'28"): • We meet a group of tribal elders, some of whom have travelled for days, who congregate especially to tell the world media about widespread incidents of Indonesian killing and brutality in their native villages. • The pretext for Evan Williams' visit to West Papua is the Wamena Festival, at which the local governor's speech proclaims Indonesia as "the ultimate in diversity". But for the locals, overrun by Indonesian oppression and largely outnumbered by subsidised Indonesian immigrants, is it diversity or occupation? • Williams meets a man whose parents and friends were killed by the Indonesians and who has been fleeing the army, hiding out, for five years. He is led to a village in which the locals are mourning the deaths of relatives killed or missing since the March 2006 protests.

West Papua - Papua New Guinea Nov 2003 The Baliem Valley in the highlands of West Papua remains one of the remotest corners of the planet. Sealed off from the world by its geography and more recently by the Indonesian government. The latest phase of an Indonesian military campaign to eradicate the Papuan independence movement and its armed wing the OPM, is being fought against the highlanders. Around 5,000 people have been driven away from their villages into the bush, many have been killed. We profile events with film smuggled out from this remote Pacific warzone.
