Documentary on two brutal murders in Fiji
I watched this in 2014. I had known of the coups in Fiji and some of the politics driving them but I hadn't heard of these crimes. The makers of the documentary assumed some foreknowledge of both these things. They began at the end, went back to the beginning, moved on, past the event and then went backwards. I would have liked to hear more analysis of the interplay between the native Fijians, the population with an Indian heritage and the colonial British. There was a mention of an early confession but this was never explained. Visually it was OK but I was never moved, only irritated. I think the conservative Methodist church got off lightly. (As a side comment, the film never showed any graphic violence, no more than what would be seen on a news report.) It is a tragic and horrific story.
