An ethnographic documentary filmed among the Trobriand Islanders of the Western Pacific, directed by Yasuko Ichioka for Japanese television. The film documents the Kula exchange system, a ceremonial network of inter-island gift exchange that structures social relations, travel, and status among participating communities. Produced within the context of Japan’s Our Wonderful World ethnographic television series, the film presents sustained observational footage of ritual activity and daily life associated with the Kula cycle. (Note: Although produced for television within the Our Wonderful World series, the film is consistently cited in ethnographic filmographies, festival programs, and scholarly sources as a self-contained work with a distinct title, director credit, and runtime, supporting its treatment as a standalone film.)

Can John Hume’s campaign of civil disobedience challenge the political status quo and take violence off the streets of Northern Ireland? In Hume's opinion there was no military solution to the problems that beset Northern Irish society. Instead, we here see him promote passive resistance, including the instigation of a rent strike. He believed that through such protests the silent majority could make their voice heard. However some believe Hume is a man who pleads pacifism, but whose actions "keep the pot boiling".

The main character in this three-act visual gag is an apple, subjected to extremes of lightness and heaviness. Méliès’s camera magic enchants it in such a way that, in the most realistic shot, it ultimately seems the least real.
The material for this compilation guerrilla video was created thanks to the work of nearly thirty filmmakers who, using the then-new Portapak portable cameras, recorded from within the protest movement the mass demonstrations to end the Vietnam War that were held in early May 1971 in Washington, D.C. Footage of participants' discussions, strategy planning, and spontaneous happenings alternate with the documentation of police violence, stays at police stations, and improvised detentions. The first edited version tried in vain to get airtime on NBC, while the updated version of the original compilation adds informational subtitles for today's viewers and underscores the hope that the established order and repressive power can be overcome non-violently through solidarity and shared emotion.
