The Hunstein Rainforest I loved as a child is scheduled to be
logged. Blissful birds of paradise dance in the mysterious Hunstein
Mountains, unaware of their impending doom. The inhabitants of the
tiny village of Wagu in Papua New Guinea who own the pristine
forest, most importantly the widow Moyali, will decide the
rainforest's fate even though they are not aware of its intrinsic
value. I initiate a National Geographic expedition and follow
along, trying to understand their struggles. Will they choose to
save the trees? What is going to happen to their culture? One year
later, I lead a small team on another expedition, a two week trek
deep into the uncharted forest, following my tribal "uncle's"
ideas, to gather photographs and challenge Mt. Hunstein. We fight
food shortages, leeches and giant cassowaries, while rare birds,
exotic flowers and crystal clear rivers fuel my deep love for this
delicate forest. I come to realize only the villagers can save the
rainforest.
