Introduction to Coffee Manor Paradise Bird Manor in Papua New Guinea

A documentary that reflects the contact process between highland aborigines and modern civilization. The film is called first contact (first contact). After its release in 1983, the film shocked the world and won numerous awards. Images like this have never been seen before and have never been seen since, and they are really excellent. The follow-up story is also fascinating: Mick grew up in a tribe with Joe, the son of a local aboriginal, and later received a Western education in a white school, becoming a middleman across two cultures. He planted coffee in the highlands and made a fortune. His attempt to expand the coffee plantation was recorded and made into two documentaries with "first contact" and called the Highland Triple.

The law of history always tells us that a heterogeneous new civilization must bring a period or a certain degree of loss and pain to the recipient. But the situation in Papua New Guinea looks even worse, and what is happening there can only be described as chaos and bloodshed. No one can say exactly why. Frequent violence, endless tribal vendetta, lack of resources, lack of medicine and medicine. The old is dying, and the new is not being built. People there say they don't see the hope of this country.

Women in Papua New Guinea are generally subjected to brutal domestic violence. In traditional culture, women have always been regarded as the private property of men and can be beaten and scolded at will, and they do not live together after marriage and sleep with their wives at night. Although the introduction of modern civilization made the couples there learn to live together, they never learned how to get along. In addition, men are idle and pay attention to appearance, while women farm and support their families, bearing all the burden. Some anthropologists believe that this custom stems from the imitation of birds of paradise (birds of paradise, local specialties). The male has beautiful feathers, while the female is not beautiful and is responsible for laying eggs and hatching eggs.
