The Screen Guide

In Papua New Guinea’s remote Western Province the landowners are in a complex struggle with a multinational over their rights and environment. BHP has dumped billions of tonnes of tailings from their Ok Tedi copper mine into Papua New Guinea’s largest river system since 1987. In 2001, landowners enlist the support of Australian lawyers to pressure the mine to clean up the mine waste. However the legal process took a dramatic turn when BHP decides to ‘exit’ the mine.
