Dennis O’Rourke’s film follows a group of rich Western tourists as they journey up the Sepik River in Papua New Guinea and documents their interactions with the local communities that they meet along the way. With overtones of Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness, this documentary explores the unequal and intrusive nature of tourism. This insightful documentary would be a useful case study in a unit on tourism.
