Synopsis:
Land is our Mother,
Land is our Lifeline,
Land is out Future,
No, no mining.
In this film the people of Bougainville speak their mind about the mine they don't want, the mine they shut down in 1989 by cutting down the power pylons, which supplied the mine with electricity. A ten year war and military blockade followed, 20,000 Islanders, a fifth of the population died. Now they are fighting against the reopening of the infamous Gold and Copper mine Panguna.
"Land is very important, it's the source of life, because if there's not enough land we wouldn't be surviving... we work on the land to feed the children.
Land is passed from the mother to the daughters. Women are the land holders in Bougainville. So that's why we don't want anybody to take the land from us, like the BCL, the CRA."
