Now that her own seas have been emptied, the European Union has turned to more exotic regions to keep up with the growing demand for tuna. Papua New Guinea is now allowed to export tuna taxfree to the EU. For the corrupt government this is the start of a series of lucrative deals with multinationals, while for the local population it is the beginning of a bitter struggle to protect their traditional way of life. A heartbreaking story about the downfall of paradise in the name of progress and economic development.
