The people of Bougainville Island (near Papua New Guinea) have succeed where many groups have failed. This small island has managed to keep back the army of Papua New Guinea. As their struggle fought on and an embargo was placed on them, a different kind of revolution was born; a coconut revolution. From food to biodiesel and everything in between, the people of Bougainville have survived for years under the embargo by utilizing old and discovering new ways of using coconuts. This is an inspiring story of resourcefulness and human will.
