Strange Birds in Paradise: A West Papuan Story plot

In 1999, Australian Charlie Hill-Smith traveled to West Papua (Irian Jaya), an Indonesian province on the island of Papua, as a tourist. He was impressed by the enchanting nature and the sympathetic population. But when he returned to delve into the cultures of the country, he realized that he had been in an area that is in a state of war. In Melbourne he got to know a community of Papuan musicians who had fled from West Papua to Australia because they were being chased by the Indonesian army.
