The Cults That Worship Cargo

Picture this: the second World War is unleashing upon the world, but in a far corner across the seas from America, patches of land remain untouched by its wrath. In a paradisiacal world near Australia, tribal natives go about their lives surrounded by glorious waves and lush greenery. Devoid of material treasures of modern civilisation, their life goes on oblivious to the greed that strangles the rest of the world. That, until one day, curious-looking machines bring in uniformed men that change these islanders forever.
