The story is told through the voice of regular villagers, without narration. It is a tale of exploitation and broken promises, where local people are treated as second-rate citizens in their own country by Malaysian logging companies and corrupt politicians. Customary landowners are forced into signing documents they don’t understand, for the promise of “development” - fresh water, health and education, but these essential services are rarely provided. Instead, their traditional hunting ground is destroyed, waterways polluted, and their traditional way of life ruined forever.

Starting life as a ripe red cherry, the coffee must pass through many hands and travel many miles by some unusual means so it can find its way to being a cup of hot coffee. The Okapa Connection reveals how fair trade and organic production methods are beginning to transform the lives of the coffee farmers in the remote and beautiful mountains of PNG.

They will not be the first people to lose their homes because of global warming. Rising seas, expanding deserts and changing weather have already displaced many, possibly millions of people. But the people of the Carterets may be unique, as they begin to abandon their atoll, one of the first peoples in the world to do so. The people of the Carteret Islands are about to make history.
