A rare look at tribal life in Papua New Guinea.
In Big Men, Broken Dreams, Bob Connolly and Robin Anderson relive the vicious tribal struggle that took place in the Highlands of Papua New Guinea through the 1980s while there to film documentaries.
Connolly and Anderson recount to presenter Tim Bowden the devastating effects that blind ambition, welfare, destruction and grief have on human beings – and how they managed to record 60 hours of footage while living in a grass hut with their 2-year-old daughter Catherine.
'John Bowden has much in common with Bert Facey, author of A Fortunate Life. Bowden deserves to be placed in that company.' (on The Way My Father Tells It)
The Canberra Times
'A must among Australian biographies.' (on One Crowded Hour)
