OPHIR tells the story of an extraordinary indigenous revolution in Bougainville, Papua New Guinea, that may have initiated the creation of the world's youngest nation. A poetic yet dramatic ode to a people's irrepressible thirst for freedom, culture and sovereignty. The film sheds light on the greatest conflict in the Pacific since World War II, revealing the visible and invisible chains of warfare, in a land once colonialized by Germany.
