Ophir tells the story of an extraordinary indigenous revolution for life, land and culture, leading up to the potential creation of the newest nation in the world, in Bougainville, Papua New Guinea. A poetic yet dramatic ode to the indelible thirst of a people for freedom, culture and sovereignty, the film sheds light on the biggest conflict of the Pacific since Second World War, revealing the visible and invisible chains of colonization and its enduring cycles of physical and psychological warfare.
