The Paga Hill community in Papua New Guinea have spent years resisting an Australian-run developer, Paga Hill Development Company, determined to build a 5-star hotel and marina on their land. The new complex is intended to host the 2018 APEC meeting, supported by Australian aid funding.

‘The Opposition’ is a film that has survived censorship attempts to expose the corruption and human rights abuses suffered by the evicted Paga Hill residents. It is also a call out to the international community to hold the Australian entities involved accountable, in solidarity with the people at the brutal edge of aggressive corporate development.

Guests:

Hollie Fifer, Director of The Opposition

Natalie Lowrey, AID/WATCH

Brynn O’Brien, Jubilee Australia
