Colonial history of Papua New Guineans

A villager efficiently recounts the colonial history of Papua New Guinea. His comments are illustrated with archival stills.

This must be one of the most concise histories ever in an interview covering an unbelievable litany of misadventure and the turbulent wake left behind by various colonising powers. The rule of the Germans was followed by the English, Japanese, Australians and then the Papua New Guineans themselves.

@islandwarrior16 Just curious - where did this clip come from and what is it called? If it's a documentary or something, I'd really like to see the full thing if it's possible.
