Michael Leahy’s photographs and footage show the highlanders surrounding and looking at a gramophone (with a 1930s recording of ‘Looking on the Bright Side of Life’ playing on the soundtrack).

At a village meeting, two highlanders are bartering a 'bride-price’. On offer are pigs rather than money.

At a community meeting, a young man debates with Joe Leahy about the profit split of their Kaugum coffee plantation. Leahy explains how he is the one taking the risk with the bank loan.

At a meeting of the Ganiga tribe, Joe and his ally, tribal elder Popina Mai, speak about the plan for Ganiga to work on the plantation.

In a wide shot, many highlanders are chanting and running through the grass with spears. Joe sits at home looking distraught. The Ganiga return to the village and attend to a wounded man.

At a village gathering, the father of a wounded Ganiga man, shot by a Gaimelka man, has a stand-off with a Lutheran pastor who had been trying to calm things down.

A group of women talk about their experiences with the Leahy brothers. They describe how, as young women, their people sold them to the Leahy brothers for sexual purposes.

In interview and voice-over, James Leahy recollects the first time the Leahy brothers came across a new community of highlanders.
