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 OppositionNatalie Lowrey, AID/WATCHBrynn O’Brien, Jubilee AustraliaTake action: www.aidwatch.org.au/theopposition/Image: Joe Moses and the Paga Hill communityAudio from the film, The Opposition.Music from the Free Music Archive.
