In 1915, Bronislaw Malinowski set out to document the exotic practices of a small group of islanders off the coast of Papua New Guinea. With extensive data on sex, magic and spirits of the dead, his work would set the stage for anthropologists for decades to come and bring him fame as one of the founding fathers of anthropology. Four generations and almost one hundred years later, his great grandson travels to Papua New Guinea and looks at the very controversial legacy he left behind - within the field of anthropology, within his own family and among the descendents of the people he studied.
