A Piece of Paradise: A Radio Documentary about Land & Life in Vanuatu

* Radio Documentary to have World Premiere in Halifax *

A new radio documentary on communal land ownership in the South Pacific will
premiere on Sunday February 5th, 10 AM on CKDU ? 97.5 FM in the Halifax area.

A Piece of Paradise is about Vanuatu, a group of tropical islands in the South
Pacific. It?s one of the poorest countries on earth ? yet there is very
little poverty. No one can own land there, but few are homeless. Sean Kelly, a
freelance writer and communications staff with CUSO, a Canadian international
development agency, traveled to Vanuatu to find out why. ?It?s a place that
doesn?t fit the Third World stereotype. It may be poor, but you don?t see
people living in the streets and no one is hungry,? says Kelly

While there, he hiked through jungles to visit small communal villages, met with
tribal chiefs, witnessed unique rituals, and drank kava ? a psychoactive brew
prepared by young men who chew and spit out the bitter root.
