Returning to visit my friends at the 4 mile settlement in PNG. I was here filming for the documentary in 2017 during their election getting opinions from locals about their country and struggles. Some of the people moved away, some passed away, and some are still there. Life goes on, but they still recognized me on arrival as the doctor from the USA. My team didn’t believe that we could just walk into an impoverished community in the middle of a random pacific island nation nobody has heard of, but that’s the power of friendship. All it takes is making an effort and reaching out to get to know a stranger, regardless of their background and differences. Now my whole team has a home full of friends in Papua New Guinea whenever they wish to return.
