Okay, the title is a bit of an exaggeration, but the main and only point in the film is its title: "An Ingenious Response to Colonialism". The documentary presents the Trobriand (a few islands in Papua New Guinea, Melanesia) version of cricket, which is highly customized by the natives to fit their culture. Beside a little explanation, all we can see is a demonstration of the game, which is fun, probably even more so for cricket-fans, but the film never really explores its idea. The title implies that rather than adapting a foreign custom, Triobrand made that foreign custom adapt their culture. I would say this is a halfway result, because it was not the colonizers, who changed by adapting a new custom.
As for the film's looks, it's nothing more than a regular documentary, neither the images, the movements nor the sounds support the film's idea. Exotic stuff are fun to see, but there's so much more to a film if all means are utilized. Overall, it's probably fun to a cricket fan, but for an average viewer one hour is too long without proper content and realization.
