International Dateline: Fiji - After the Coup
Regions: Oceania

Dateline's Bronwyn Adcock reports from Fiji, where she discovers that all is not as it seems in this tropical island nation.

While tourists have returned and resorts are filling up, the locals are still dealing with the ramifications of last year's coup, the fourth in 20 years. This time, the military took over and promised to rid Fiji of racism and corruption but as Bronwyn Adcock reports, soldiers now stand accused of cracking down on free speech, intimidation, beatings, torture and murder.


A new Fiji - but at what cost?

 


 

About International Dateline 

SBS Dateline, which began in 1984, is Australia's longest-running international current affairs program. It has a well-earned reputation for authoritative and incisive reporting. Dateline has taken the traditional way of producing TV current affairs and turned it on its head. Reporters who used to travel with a cameraperson and sound recordist now travel alone and have the responsibility of both filming and reporting their stories. The reporters became video-journalists, gaining access to people and places that the conventional camera crews cannot.
