Warfare, Film-Making And Living Dangerously In The Highlands Of Papua New Guinea.

In 1990 film-makers Robin Anderson and Bob Connolly shot a feature-length documentary about tribal warfare in the Papua New Guinea Highlands. The breathtaking result 'Black Harvest' won film awards all around the world.

Moving, funny and painfully honest, this book recounts the culture clashes, the danger and ultimately, the tragedy of their experiences.

Some months after the death of his beloved wife and film-making partner, Robin Anderson, Bob Connolly read her diaries from the year they had spent living in the middle of a vicious tribal struggle in Papua New Guinea, making the film 'Black Harvest'. Using Robin's diaries as his inspiration, Bob Connolly has written a magnificent book that not only sheds light on their award-winning film but recounts Connolly and Anderson's moral dilemmas as they question how much responsibility they must bear for what is going so disastrously wrong in the lives of the Ganiga tribes people.

This magnificent narrative examines, with great delicacy and integrity, the devastating effects that blind ambition, warfare, destruction and grief have on human beings, and in doing so produces a work of poignant beauty and irresistible force.
