Papua New Guinea's Favourite Australian Returns For The Last Time

  • The Village: Sean Dorney returns to Papua New Guinea, where he was a foreign correspondent for many years. Now suffering from motor neuron disease, it may be his last visit.
    Subscribe to Journeyman here: www.youtube.com...
    When he was a correspondent, he fell in love with the country. “It is one of the most interesting countries in the world”, he says, citing its tropical forests and its prominent rugby tradition. "In a country that speaks 860 distinct languages, rugby league is a great unifying force." Now, despite his illness, he returns to the village where his wife Pauline was raised. Sean’s relationship with Papua New Guinea hasn’t always been easy; he was once deported for his reporting. But he wants the world to know more about the country, from its World War II history to China’s increasing influence. "Frankly, I'm appalled at the lack of coverage”, he says. He hopes his legacy will help to bridge this gap and bring the country the global recognition that he believes it deserves.

    I heard of the locals helping the Australians, by carrying the wounded and their gear during WW 2. They were called the Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels, because they were so friendly and saved lives.
    Now that I see this documentary I can see how friendly, happy and loving the locals are. It would be great to meet them one day.
    I hope that the greed of man never extends its destructive force to their territory and they can live in peace.

    Wow. I love this. Now, four years later, Sean’s still alive, yes? I’m just researching and reading on him elsewhere. No mention of a death date, only birthdate. The prayer group must have done something. The whole ceremony looked so powerful.
    Normally I don’t like the idea of foreign Christian missionaries coming in and “saving” indigenous peoples (I know we can’t change what’s been done in centuries past), but it seems the people of PNG balance Christianity and their true knowledge of nature & life & the universe pretty amazingly. I think the combination of the peoples’ energy and the entire congregation really did something for him, health wise. Those women and young people crying over him. Amazing, and it wouldn’t matter one’s religious views to be in or near a congregation like that. That gathering of people in one place creates physical energy, electricity, synchronicity…it must have given Sean’s body a boost. I hope he’s gone back again to PNG. Nothing could top a ceremony like that though… meanwhile, Pauline had quite the expression during it, she was like, “uhhhh what?!” She’s hilarious. “You’re conniving, forget birthdays, you’re never home, inconsiderate…” about her husband, to her husband!

    Beautifully documentary SD, I love the storyline that balanced the social and political lives in PNG from the past to the present. And it's so true, the foreigners who married a PNG in the early '50s, to the '80s or lived longer in PNG for 20 to 70 years will know and understand the core lifestyle values of living in PNG. They see PNG through indigenous eyes and not from foreign eyes. This time lot has changed in the past 70 years plus odd years and any foreigners visiting or settling in PNG today have different social and political views on how they see PNG today. PNG em mi yia!

Let's have more information about how to protect these mothers and daughters. More prison jail time.

    This documentary is realistic and well represents PNG better than many of other coverage, mostly negative. just to reinforce let me say this...unlike in the West, our mother land have not been taken away by the state, which facilitates the corporatization of native traditional landownership. Many tradtitional land in Africa has been gone cheaply to the westernthe capitalist under this process. The world know for sure what is now happening is South Africa as a consequence. PNGans now still own fertile traditional land which we share among our family and clan members equally. it is the source of our wealth. With it we live. Then we work the land and look after flocks on it and gladly have a balanced meal on the table at the end of the day. Thats why you wont hear on Western Media about hunger and homeless in PNG. We have free fresh water also if you like. Poverty according to UN is about money. do you eat money? if not, think what money buys for survival. PNGans say we have it all.. proud to be PNG.
