| Description: | ÒIn KoriamÕs Law Australian anthropologist Andrew Lattas meets his match in philosopher-informant Peter Avarea of Matong village, Ponio, Papua New Guinea. Motivated by their lively dialogues the film sets out to place that most misconstrued of cultural phenomena, the Òcargo-cult,Ó in a universalising light.Ó The film concerns itself with the contemporary works and understandiings of the Pomio Kivung Movement, whose Òmission is to prepare the way for the coming ÔchangeÕ and, at the same time, to organise for a better society in the here and now.Ó |
