WORLD WAR II BRUTALITY THROUGH PNG EYES ON MĀORI TELEVISION An award-winning documentary depicting the most brutal fighting of the Pacific campaign in World War II screens on Māori Television this Tuesday July 19 at 8.30 PM. ANGELS OF WAR is an Australian-made documentary that captures the devastating experiences of Papua New Guinea villages that were subjected to Japanese, Australian and American war propaganda – and survived. The Ronan Films-produced documentary earned the Best Documentary award at the 1982 Nylon Film Festival in Switzerland and won the Best Documentary in social sciences at the 1982 ATOM Awards. In January 1942, World War II came to the islands of Papua New Guinea. In the ‘time before’ only 8000 foreigners lived among two million Papua New Guineans. During the war, two million Australian, American and Japanese soldiers fought a bloody path through the country and left a permanent mark on the small island nation forever. “The young men (in the village) were carried away. The Australians would come in and force the young men to be in the war – to be carriers, labourers and that sort of thing. And, when they were sick or fell ill, they wouldn’t take them back to their village. They would take them to the hospital and some of the young men died and their families didn’t know. Later, when they found out, they just cried their eyes out and that was it. All of the young men in the village went. Only the old people and what the army thought useless were left behind,” says villager Nora Vagi Brash. Peppered with interviews of real-life survivors and rarely-seen archival footage, ANGELS OF WAR broadcasts on Māori Television this Tuesday July 19 at 8.30 PM.
