A different ballgame: Cricket in the Trobriand Islands

This is one my favorite cricket videos on YouTube. I really love how the people of the Trobiand Islands have taken cricket and made into something that is still recognizable, but also completely different from the game we know, play and watch.

I have never seen the complete documentary, just this sort introduction, but would really like to watch the whole thing. If you happen to know if and where that is possible, please leave a comment. :)
