Ophir

By Alexandre Berman, Olivier Pollet

Ophir tells the story of an extraordinary indigenous revolution for life, land and culture, leading up to the creation of the world’s newest nation in Bougainville, Papua New Guinea. A poetic yet dramatic ode to the indelible thirst for freedom, culture and sovereignty; the film sheds light on the biggest conflict of the Pacific since WWII, revealing the visible and invisible chains of colonisation and its enduring cycles of physical and psychological warfare.
