It is a spin off of two projects produced by Arsam International, Fourth World Films and France Télévisions: the television film the Panguna Syndrome (2017, 52’) - which was short-listed for the prestigious Albert Londres Prize – and the feature length documentary Ophir (2020, 97’), which premiered and was awarded the Grand Jury Prize at FIFO in Tahiti in February 2020, and which is due to be released internationally in 2020.
