- The Village: Sean Dorney returns to Papua New Guinea, where he was a foreign correspondent for many years. Now suffering from motor neuron disease, it may be his last visit.

When he was a correspondent, he fell in love with the country. “It is one of the most interesting countries in the world”, he says, citing its tropical forests and its prominent rugby tradition. "In a country that speaks 860 distinct languages, rugby league is a great unifying force." Now, despite his illness, he returns to the village where his wife Pauline was raised. Sean’s relationship with Papua New Guinea hasn’t always been easy; he was once deported for his reporting. But he wants the world to know more about the country, from its World War II history to China’s increasing influence. "Frankly, I'm appalled at the lack of coverage”, he says. He hopes his legacy will help to bridge this gap and bring the country the global recognition that he believes it deserves.

ABC Australia - Ref. 7414
This is by far the BEST DOCUMENTARY VIDEO I've ever come across about Papua New Guinea. After watching this and I am in tears....SEAN you are a legend. Thank you bringing out the bright and best side of PNG as whole for the world to see. God bless you and your family.
I heard of the locals helping the Australians, by carrying the wounded and their gear during WW 2. They were called the Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels, because they were so friendly and saved lives.
Now that I see this documentary I can see how friendly, happy and loving the locals are. It would be great to meet them one day.
I hope that the greed of man never extends its destructive force to their territory and they can live in peace.
And when it comes to Anzac Day Australia never mentions or thanks us
@@annastarciacollins663 A hard truth my dude. But that's the way it is for us
Sean Dorney is such a great man. I grew up reading, listening to, and watching his thoughts.
Always a legend. Your clear voice always will reverberate in our memories. Thank you for everything you have done for Papua New Guinea.... Farewell Sean Dorney.
Sean Dorney you did well not only for your relatives in Manus Island but as a correspondence you reports for Papua New Guinea has always been in depth, fair and professional. Well done Sean. Live in peace. God bless you.
What a love story. Sean Dorney, you're a legend. I am sure my people will respond warmly when I take my kiwi family to png for the 1st time this year.
I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Everyone's welcomed here in PNG
I was a missionary kid in SHP PNG. I miss it, and can't wait to visit again. I totally agree with the correspondent who said, it is the most amazing and accessible country in the world. PNG people are such good people, they will be my friends forever.
That's pretty wholesome. It makes me feel pretty proud
Which part of SHP?
I'm from SHP
Where in SHP?

Fantastic video Sean! I've grown up watching you on TV in PNG..you've always been fair and truthful in your reporting of issues and events in PNG.
Love this guy, a truelly unique Australian-PNG local. May God bless his soul
A legend Sean Dorney. Bless your heart❤❤❤
What a moving documentary. Bless your heart.❤🙏🏽.
Sean Dorney, what a legend.💪🏽
Good on you Aussie folks for your positive documentary compared to our local media's and a couple of individuals abroad who painted a false impression of this country..Thank you. PNG so beautiful 😍..
Thanks Sean for sharing this wonderful story. Thanks for your love for our beautiful country. May God bless you and you beautiful wife Pauline.
This is truly touching and amazing. Thank you Sean for your service to the country and truly revealing to the world what PNG is all about
I remember you playing rugby league in lae, you was png’s peter sterling but personally given the era and the opposition your were better that sterlo thank you for your service in Png...🙏
Love and respect always
🇵🇬🇵🇬from our families 🇵🇬🇵🇬
Lived and worked in PNG would return in a heartbeat. Tremendous stories wish you both the very best :)
This is one of the best story i have watched about PNG. Especially foreign journalist reporting only negative image of this country. Thank you Sean and your beautiful wife Pauline for sharing your love and true story of this great and loving country PNG. God bless you🙏..
This documentary is realistic and well represents PNG better than many of other coverage, mostly negative. just to reinforce let me say this...unlike in the West, our mother land have not been taken away by the state, which facilitates the corporatization of native traditional landownership. Many tradtitional land in Africa has been gone cheaply to the westernthe capitalist under this process. The world know for sure what is now happening is South Africa as a consequence. PNGans now still own fertile traditional land which we share among our family and clan members equally. it is the source of our wealth. With it we live. Then we work the land and look after flocks on it and gladly have a balanced meal on the table at the end of the day. Thats why you wont hear on Western Media about hunger and homeless in PNG. We have free fresh water also if you like. Poverty according to UN is about money. do you eat money? if not, think what money buys for survival. PNGans say we have it all.. proud to be PNG.
Land of plenty..
Amen 🙏🏾 🌿 😊
The string band music and song is the highlight... Sean Dorney the HERO and LEGEND✌✌🙏🙏
Sean Dorney, what a legend!!!
No, he is a deceived man. Money is a curse. Economics is bad.
@@je-freenorman7787 I disagree. He is not a deceived man.
@@lifeinpapuanewguinea Unfortunately, its not up to you. He is clearly deceived, as he thinks economics is real and/or important. Its actually backwards. He is, his own worst nightmare that way. Deceived by Religion and the Crown. Most people are. Money has no value.
@@lifeinpapuanewguinea Do you know where the name Papau New Guinea comes from, or means? Do you know where (old) Guinea is?
@@lifeinpapuanewguinea BTW, I never said he was a bad man, I just said he is clearly deceived. Which is truth. Not a good idea to deny the truth. Thanks.
wow this is Powerful much respect from the 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Sean Dorney is a legend having being appointed as ABC Pacific Correspondent and on secondment to PNG's National Broadcasting Commission.
This was so beautiful. I can't wait to see my home country again, it's been 11 years.
This video came to me when I enter You tube. No one told me about it. I just want to watch the first minite and skip it but it turns out I'm watching it to the end and off course with few tears. Great video❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.
He was the first Aussie Expatriate to captain PNG's national team the PNG Kumuls in 1976 and being deported in 1984 and returned in 1987 and did his job as ABC's Foreign Correspondent as Pacific Correspondent based at the Australian Broadcasting Cooperation's Port Moresby bureau.
Sean Dorney You are a legend!
Thank you Sean and Pauline.
Much blessings 🙏
Thank you mr Sean Dorney I always heard reports on Radio ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) when I was in junior high school in Jayapura, west Papua 1978. You are a legend when people in West Papua want to hear news at the border.
So touching. They really love you. I wish i could be loved like that in my lifetime
Sean Dorney the legend...Peace❤💪
🌴Amazing. I've always wanted to visit PNG !!🌴
you are most welcome to PNG
Hey sis.... please come its beautiful and we are very welcome people.....
Hi Sean what a great story and you are truly the real Papua New Guniean home grown Journalist.
Beautiful documentary. Had me in tears at the end. Absolutely love my Papua New Guinea and its beautiful people 🇵🇬 ❤️ No matter what...
One of the best video ever about Papua New Guinea. It was your family trip to touch base with your wife,s people from Manus island but you touched base with the rest of the nation. As a Papua new Guinean I thankyou and your wife for your contributions to this nation. May God Almighty reward you both and many blessings to your children and their children. God bless
What a beautiful story. Wonderful and enjoyable to watch. I love such documents on how low story and it is history. Thanks for your story
You are a great mentor & educator, contributed immensely...
Love and respect this gentleman.
❤ bikpela respect lo yu🙏🏾 thank you
God bless the couple. Good to be back home in Manus.
Wow. I love this. Now, four years later, Sean’s still alive, yes? I’m just researching and reading on him elsewhere. No mention of a death date, only birthdate. The prayer group must have done something. The whole ceremony looked so powerful.
Normally I don’t like the idea of foreign Christian missionaries coming in and “saving” indigenous peoples (I know we can’t change what’s been done in centuries past), but it seems the people of PNG balance Christianity and their true knowledge of nature & life & the universe pretty amazingly. I think the combination of the peoples’ energy and the entire congregation really did something for him, health wise. Those women and young people crying over him. Amazing, and it wouldn’t matter one’s religious views to be in or near a congregation like that. That gathering of people in one place creates physical energy, electricity, synchronicity…it must have given Sean’s body a boost. I hope he’s gone back again to PNG. Nothing could top a ceremony like that though… meanwhile, Pauline had quite the expression during it, she was like, “uhhhh what?!” She’s hilarious. “You’re conniving, forget birthdays, you’re never home, inconsiderate…” about her husband, to her husband!
Sean Dorney: a wonderful man whose work opened my eyes. So very well done!
Thank-you, the best n true story of Papua 🇵🇬 New Guinea, you deserve a highest award from Papua 🇵🇬 New Guinea.
Thank you for touching my heart love from Mackay Queensland Australia from a Papua New Guinean

Mr Dorney you are well remembered especially when you were playing Rugby League for my team Paga Phanters in Port Moresby in 1976. You won the grand Final that year and your were a tough half back. Please take care of life.
A beautiful and moving documentary.
Thanks for this video
Thank you Mr Dorney for promoting Manus and Papua New Guinea.
I can't hold back my tears as he says goodbye maybe for the last time
Sean, an adorable man, married to a very beautiful woman. I am broken down as I watch you both visit Manus at this age.❤🙏🙏 Thank for your commitment and contributions to PNG.

One of the best stories about relationship between PNG and Australia. May God bless You
A true legend, you will always be a Papua New Guinean not matter wherever you are. Trupla Kumul 🇵🇬🙏🏽
Sean, tears flowed freely from my eyes with this Tulu String Band. U r the only person who reports fairly on PNG, we also know ourselves as a nation. There was NO cannibalism ever. Just report correctly pls?
Great respect for you, sir...
Good people still exist in this planet
I find the cannibalism comment very stereotypical.
Great story 👍
So beautiful and l am in tears watching.
Enjoyed this... God bless you both and may Gods healing grace be upon you Sir, and may Gods will be done with your illness, for Gods ways are not ours Amen.
A legend has returned. Welcome to PNG Don.
This was just beautiful.
Amazing PNG land of the unexpected ❤️🙏... groups of people found in PNG..are .. MELANESIANS... micronesian... polynesian... Abroginal people..
we r a nation of fascinating people, melanesians, naturally blonde melanesians, micronesians, polynesians n Aboriginals too. Come n see us live in peace n friendly beautiful enviroments owned by ourselves n we share what we f with each other, making sure no one is hungry. The best way of life, our life is ruled by kindness n not what Aus media reports.
Papu Sean and Mama Pauline, ...Respect and Salute you both 🙏
Sean Dorney your legacy will be remembered for generation...you are hero.
Sean Dorney, The Legend
The song being sung at the end there, how do I get it....... my heart is so much sold out to the song🎖
Wonderful act
He did not offer that's bulshit. Australia offered 20million for the refugees
Wonerful video. I hope to get to PNG later this year of 2023.
Great Great story. I think it was his last trip to PNG. Great story with a greater ending. Such simple yet meaningful life lived...which is so hard to come by these days.❤️❤️❤️
As a Papua New Guinean thank-you for your good journalism and the truth.
I love this story
Our Aussiee brothers are just good at reporting negativity when it comes to reporting about current issues in PNG. We look forward to improve alot in this area.
❤More of this movies/cultural filming.
Love it so much...
The hair🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘
Beautifully documentary SD, I love the storyline that balanced the social and political lives in PNG from the past to the present. And it's so true, the foreigners who married a PNG in the early '50s, to the '80s or lived longer in PNG for 20 to 70 years will know and understand the core lifestyle values of living in PNG. They see PNG through indigenous eyes and not from foreign eyes. This time lot has changed in the past 70 years plus odd years and any foreigners visiting or settling in PNG today have different social and political views on how they see PNG today. PNG em mi yia!
Nice
Hello Papua New Guinea. I'm a Man living in the Philippines, Please welcome me. I'm here to Advocate on supporting Government and Justice.
