Abstract:

‘Strange Birds in Paradise: A West Papuan Story’ (2009), directed by Charlie Hill-Smith, has recently been released on DVD. It is part of a growing number of films that confront Australian politicians’ public dissimulation regarding the suffering of the West Papuans to our north. YouTube and other video sources on the net occasionally provide occasional stories from Mark Davis and others at SBS, while the Al Jazeera site hosts the intriguing short film ‘Pride of Warriors’ (2009).
