'From the Horse's Mouth: perceptions of development from Papua New Guinea' (Gilberthorpe 2005)

'From the Horse's Mouth: perceptions of development from Papua New Guinea' (Gilberthorpe 2005) aims to show the diverse perceptions of those caught up in the process of resource extraction, by juxtaposing the views of corporate personnel with landowners and non-landowners. As two major resource extraction industries face closure (Kutubu oil extraction and Ok Tedi copper/gold mine) in Papua New Guinea, Indigenous people and corporate representatives were asked what 'development' and 'sustainable development' meant to them and what they thought the future would bring. The issues raised in the film include: sustainable development, mining, oil extraction, Ok Tedi, Kutubu, the Papua New Guinea state, Oil Search Limited, the anthropology of resource extraction, industrial impacts, indigenous rights and transparency. NB: The views presented by Oil Search personnel are personal and do not necessarily represent the views of Oil Search Limited.
