Merauke Dutch New Guinea

Members of the cast and crew from The Jungle Woman (1926) stroll through a small village in Merauke with some of the locals cast as extras in the film. A man hands an object to a villager and then Frank Hurley speaks to another local. A Papuan man with long braided hair turns for the camera. An intertitle, types of natives, precedes individual Papuan villagers filmed from the shoulders up. Actress Grace Savieri (who plays the title role in The Jungle Woman) tries to apply make-up to one of the local extras, with little success. Savieri is then shown in full make-up and costume alone, and then with co-star Bransby Williams, between filming takes. A final panning shot captures the filming of one of the village scenes for The Jungle Woman (1926).

i think we dutch invaded and surpressed more than enough people in the past. So much trouble caused by such a small country. We leave the invading, killing, stealing, forced trading, raping and forcing our way of live to other countries now.
