Papua New Guinea extreme: Hell or paradise? (2024)

Plot Summary

Papua New Guinea is dangerous, unpredictable, fascinating – and sometimes terrifying. ARD correspondent Florian Bahrdt and his team are on a road trip through the highlands of Papua New Guinea. Traveling there is a strenuous ordeal. And very risky. Brutal fighting between villages leaves people dead and injured every day. Robberies and roadblocks are commonplace. But Papua New Guinea is so much more: "Expect the unexpected!" advises Mundiya Kepanga. The chief, who likes to show off his traditional outfit and moves effortlessly between the rainforest and climate conferences, shows the team the island's threatened and vital natural resources. Why is Papua New Guinea still so unique? ARD correspondent Florian Bahrdt is looking for answers – where few others go.
