[9] Since 2000, several books and documentaries have been made on his perspective on the Western world such as "Reversed Exploration" (Production Bonne Pioche),[10] which was broadcast by Canal+ and National Geographic in more than twenty countries.
Ukuma Mundiya Kepanga was born in the mid-sixties in the Highlands of Papua New Guinea, in a small hut built specifically for his birth at Anda Mini in the Telabo region.
He belongs to the Telabo Angi Puria clan, part of the Huli tribe, whose members live mainly in the Tari region in the center of the Hela province.
[15] Late 2006 – early 2007, Mundiya and his cousin Polobi were invited a second time to France, and this trip led to the making of a 100-minute documentary “The reversed exploration” (film by Jean-Marie Barrère and Marc Dozier – Bonne Pioche Production).
In 2012, with the help of his French friend Marc Dozier acting as his translator, Mundiya published his autobiography Au pays des hommes blancs, les mémoires d'un Papou en Occident (Niugini).
