What better way to show the world the Pacific’s concerted effort in meeting their maritime security obligations than capturing it on camera....SPC’s Regional Maritime Programme (RMP) is pleased to launch Pacific’s Maritime Challenges on the War against Terror, a documentary on the challenges faced by the Pacific Island countries and territories (PICTs) in implementing and maintaining compliance with the mandatory provisions of the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code.

It may seem an impossible ask to capture almost four years of steadfast committment accurately in a 12-minute documentary but the producers, SPC’s Regional Media Centre (RMC), have done an exceptional job of showcasing the milestones achieved by PICTs since July 2004. A whooping thank you to Larry Thomas and his team...

The first cut of the documentary was viewed and appreciated by the 60 plus participants attending the Pacific Maritime Security Conference held in Nadi, Fiji, from 12th - 14th May 2008.

A much wider airing of the documentary is being planned for later in the year through the television programme, Pacific Way. Pacific communities with access to Pacific Way airing will have the opportunity to sit back and reflect on yet another successful ‘battle’ in the history of the Pacific.

Copies of the DVDs are available from RMP only, at a cost of FJ$10.00 (not applicable to RMP’s regional counterparts in PICTs).
