| Rascals - Papua New Guinea |
 |
March 1995
We look at the cultural roots of crime in
PNG, where quarrels have traditionally been
settled in a vociferous, hands-on way.
'Drive fast, never stop and get someone else
to open your gates' is the best survival tip
you'll get in Papau New Guinea. The jungle
teems with violent criminals, or 'Rascals' -
highwaymen who, like Robin Hood, share their
booty with their clan. We capture a hold-up
live on film, including the advance pep-talk
given by the band leader. One styles himself
on Rambo. Another inhales smoke to make
himself invisible. Rape, car-jacking, police
shootings and arson have driven tourism and
investment away. We meet the owner of a
coffee plantation with his barrage of
protective security measures. Traditional
attitudes now threaten to force the country
into a state of total anarchy.
