A Piece of Paradise is a documentary about Vanuatu, a group of tropical islands in the South Pacific. On paper, 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 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. The documentary won a 2007 Gabriel Award.
