518    Originally produced by Documentary Educational Resources 
       in 1983. 
520    This is the classic film of cultural confrontation that is
       as compelling today as when it was first released over 20 
       years ago. When Columbus and Cortez ventured into the New 
       World there was no camera to record the drama of this 
       first encounter. But, in 1930, when the Leahy brothers 
       penetrated the interior of New Guinea in search of gold, 
       they carried a movie camera. Thus they captured on film 
       their unexpected confrontation with thousands of Stone Age
       people who had no concept of human life beyond their 
       valleys. This amazing footage forms the basis of First 
       contact. Yet there is more to this extraordinary film than
       the footage that was recovered. Fifty years later some of 
       the participants are still alive and vividly recall their 
       unique experience. The Papuans tell how they thought the 
       white men were their ancestors, bleached by the sun and 
       returned from the dead. They were amazed at the artifacts 
       of 20th century life such as tin cans, phonographs and 
       airplanes. When shown their younger, innocent selves in 
       the found footage, they recall the darker side of their 
       relationship with these mysterious beings with devastating
       weapons. Australian Dan Leahy describes his fear at being 
       outnumbered by primitive looking people with whom he could
       not speak. He felt he had to dominate them for his own 
       survival and to continue his quest for gold. First contact
       is one of those rare films that holds an audience spell-
       bound. Humor and pathos are combined in this classic story
       of colonialism, told by the people who were there.
