Set on the island of Misima, Papua New Guinea, this documentary explores the daily struggles faced by women in their pursuit of empowerment. One remarkable woman, Diuma Heni, fearlessly embarks on a quest to reclaim her authority as an emerging clan leader while navigating the challenges of single motherhood. Her inspiring journey unveils the profound impact of the now-closed Misima Gold Mine on traditional Misiman culture.

Driven by determination, Diuma delves into her genealogical ancestry and meticulously builds a compelling case to defend her land tenure rights in a local land court. Through her journey, the film illuminates the coercive pressures imposed on Misimans, showcasing the new legal and economic paradigms they are forced to navigate. Diuma's unwavering pursuit exemplifies how Misiman women strive to reclaim their traditional authority eroded by the gold mine's influence on the local economy, politics, and gender norms.
