content: Edited film: in contrast to the highlands on this island the eastern coast of Sewataitai Bay is densely populated with sago palm trees that have been planted or have just grown wild. Here the entire process of sago production is shown: palm trees are felled, the bark is peeled off, and the sago pulp is extracted and fired in leaf bundles.
