Party: Kokoda The Spirit Lives - World Premiere

Join us for a World Premiere broacast in The Lounge of "Kokoda, The Spirit Lives"

A feature documentary taking viewers on a fascinating journey of discovery, walking in the footsteps of those, who in 1942, against all odds, withstood Japan’s previously unstoppable Pacific invasion force to preserve Australia and Papua New Guinea’s ’s freedom.

The third in Patrick Lindsay’s trilogy of documentaries on the Kokoda Campaign (following Kokoda … the Bloody Track in 1991 and Kokoda … the Last Parade in 1998) it is a modern telling of the Kokoda story, its significance in the Pacific War and an exploration of the enduring spirit which sustained the Kokoda Diggers and which still inspires Australians today.

Lindsay’s Limetree Studios presents a modern telling of the Kokoda legend, an examination of its significance in the Pacific War and an exploration of the enduring spirit that sustained the Kokoda Diggers in 1942 and which still inspires Australians today.

As Gallipoli symbolized the ANZAC spirit of WWI, so Kokoda is its WWII equivalent.

Today, walking the Kokoda Track has become a rite of passage to many young Australians. Others, drawn by the chance to literally walk in the footsteps of the Diggers, explore the battlefields, the terrain, the PNG people but, most of all, they explore themselves.

The Kokoda Diggers are now well into their 90s and they’re fading. Soon, there will be no living link with this iconic chapter of our history. How will we remember them?

How will we ensure their sacrifices are understood and appreciated by their descendants and by those who enjoy the freedom they bequeathed us? ‘Kokoda … the spirit lives’ honours the remarkable achievements of the Diggers and the Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels, illustrates their legacy and passes on their story to future generations.
