**** The Coconut Revolution (Dom Rotheroe, 2001)

Bows and arrows against helicopter gunships - and bows won. With a bit of help from the coconut. This has been the world's first successful ecological revolution. Bougainville is a small island off the coast of Papua New Guinea. No one really cared when the British company Rio Tinto Zinc bulldozed jungle and proceeded to dig the word's largest open-cast mine there in the sixties. Then in 1989, the indigenous inhabitants revolted. By dodging through the shoot-to-kill gunboat blockade, the filmmaker and the sound recordist documented this David and Goliath story of the 21st century.

**** PLUS! a South African AFRA documentary on the land rights of farm dwellers in KwaZulu-Natal
