Yap is a small island in the Pacific, which fell under American control after WWII. In 1979, Yap got its own television station, and legendary documentarist Dennis O'Rourke captured the islanders reactions to this new phenomenon, as they witnessed American programming and advertising for the first time. Many islanders were skeptical about this new technology, fearing the influence of western culture and values on their way of life. Raising important questions about imperialism, O'Rourke gives voice to the islanders perspectives with his trademarked wit and sensitivity.
