A Solomon Islands community struggles with some unexpected consequences of a logging operation. The men of Rendova Island embrace the chance to be part of the modern economy; but the women are concerned for the forests and traditions that sustain their families. As Rendova's forest rapidly disappears, the loggers set their sights on a deserted island held sacred by the villagers. Through evocative archival images, 'Since the Company Came' questions the ongoing legacy of colonial attitudes to land and people.
