‘Vanuatu Independence’ is a hard-hitting documentary, chronicling how Vanuatu gained its independence in 1980 from its colonial powers, France and England. It exposes the foreign influence that was always present behind the curtain, even to this day.
During the pandemic era, the culprits identified themselves as the saviour of the country and the world, meanwhile lying and poisoning the vast majority of people who believed their narrative. This is the hard and horrifying story of the biggest genocide in history, told by High Chiefs and Members of Parliament.

Released on 30 May 2025, and directed by filmmaker and investigative journalist Ni-Vanuatu Philippe Carillo, ‘Vanuatu Independence‘ explores Vanuatu’s journey to independence from France and Britain 45 years ago. The film also examines how a foreign-dictated covid response removed the individual rights and freedoms of its citizens.
The documentary highlights that Vanuatu’s response to covid and its vaccination policy have been dictated by the World Health Organisation, an agency of the United Nations. Only two Members of Parliament have opposed this external influence in their country. As gaining independence is in the living memory of many, the people of Vanuatu know that both individual and national sovereignty are invaluable. As a result, citizens, guided by their Chiefs, have been actively resisting this takeover.
In Western countries, the United Nations’ influence and control over governments and institutions is not always apparent. However, in Vanuatu, this takeover is evident. If you want to understand how the UN carries out its strategies to exert control over an entire nation, this documentary demonstrates it.

The political history of Vanuatu and its independence from its colonial powers is discussed in the first 35 minutes of ‘Vanuatu Independence’. The documentary then turns to what happened in Vanuatu during the covid era, placing it in the context of what was happening across the world at the time.

Independence From Colonial Powers
Vanuatu, a group of 83 islands in the South Pacific, has a rich history dating back 3,000 years. It was first visited by European explorers in the late 16th century and faced colonisation by Britain and France in the 19th century, leading to violence and exploitation of the native population. The New Hebrides Condominium was established in 1906, marking a joint colonial rule that lasted until World War II.
Post-war, leaders like Father Walter Lini emerged, advocating for independence and self-governance. The independence movement strengthened in the 1970s, aided by international support, leading to Vanuatu gaining independence in July 1980 after a troubled but united push for self-rule. The first general election in 1977 marked a significant step toward self-governance.
The New Party – also known as the New Hebrides National Party and later, in 1977, was renamed Vanua’aku Pati (Vanuaku Party) – played a crucial role in the fight for the country’s independence. The provisional government, led by the New Party which had won the 1979 elections, worked to establish a new administration and stop all colonial services, while also facing challenges from French and British influences, as well as internal divisions among the people.
Despite external and internal challenges, a Constitutional Planning Committee was formed in 1979 to draft a constitution. The constitution-making process was influenced by foreign powers, including France and Britain, which had a significant impact on the final document, with certain parts being non-negotiable and imposed on the country. The final text of the constitution was completed in September 1979, and the country prepared for its official independence, which was finally achieved in July 1980.
The first Prime Minister, Walter Lini, was a respected leader with strong Christian values, guiding Vanuatu through early challenges and shaping its political landscape. However, political struggles continued after independence, with shifting party dynamics and international relations influencing the country’s stability. In 1991, there was a split in the Vanuaku Party. Lini was among those who left the party.
“The foreign influence in Vanuatu, generally, really became more strong once the Vanuaku Party collapsed,” Kalkot Matas Kelekele, one of the fathers of independence, said. “When the Vanuaku Party collapsed, different political parties sought friendship from other countries. Some sought friendship from Indonesia, some from China, and some from other countries.”
The death of Lini in 1999 was a significant event. There are unanswered questions about the circumstances surrounding his death, with some suggesting that foreign influence may have played a role.
“Following Walter Lini’s death,” the narrator said, “there was an open door for more foreign countries and world organisations to influence and control Vanuatu. One of them was the United Nations and its various agencies.”
The United Nations Establishes Itself in Vanuatu
In 1981, Vanuatu became a member of the United Nations (“UN”) and in 1984 the UN established an office in the country, raising concerns about the organisation’s influence on the country’s sovereignty and independence.
As the narrator highlighted, international experts are pointing out that the United Nations is not what it started out to be, and is now a compromised organisation. He quoted Claudia Rosett, an award-winning journalist for the Foundation for Defence of Democracies, who was known for her critical coverage of corruption within the United Nations:
The United Nations was founded as a forum of governments … Now the UN, in contravention of its own charter, is rapidly evolving into … a predatory, undemocratic, unaccountable, and self-serving vehicle for global government.
The UN is unwieldy, gross, inefficient, and incompetent; it is also so configured as to reach deep into the national politics of its member states and, by sheer weight and persistence, to force at least some of the worst of its agenda upon all of us.
[Only a handful are brave enough to counter all of this.] For many others in public life, and for many ordinary citizens as well, the institution itself … is still held in nearly sacred regard.
How Corrupt Is the United Nations? Claudia Rosett, April 2006
In March 2020, the world faced the biggest fraud ever. Without any scientific proof, the World Health Organisation (“WHO”), an agency of the United Nations, declared covid-19 a pandemic. Despite the impact on civil society and the sovereignty of nation-states, the lies were sustained by a massive disinformation campaign in the media.
Many scientists and doctors were voicing their concerns publicly but they were threatened and censored by the authorities.
The pandemic narrative based on lies was repeated over and over by the media, creating a sense of fear and confusion among people, and even governments became confused and started to challenge the principles of freedom and law.
Without challenging the authenticity of the data, country after country closed their borders, demonstrating the control the UN has over member countries. The Vanuatu government closed the country’s borders on 30 March 2020 in accordance with WHO directives. Many businesses in Vanuatu had to close their doors as there were no more tourists.
“Numerous individuals also spread this fear to their communities, villages and neighbouring islands, which in certain cases led to people becoming utterly paranoid. The media, which lacked evidence as well, as well as the Ministry of Health, propagated this fear,” the narrator explained. “At that time, the country was under the total control of the UN and WHO. The government didn’t even challenge the official narrative coming from them.”
“They made stories with narratives based on lies,“ Member of the Vanuatu Parliament John Salong said. “If someone repeats a fake story over and over and over again, people start to believe it as truth.
“So there has been one fake story that all people around the world are going to die because of this so-called flu, and named it a certain name for everyone to use as normal language: covid-19. And then we talk about masking, we talk about social distancing, we talk about vaccination. Every one of these words became normal language for every man because the media brainwashed everyone in the world to look only in one direction. And our government was confused. And they were confused because they departed from the principles of the Bible. They departed from the principles of freedom. They departed from the principles of the Constitution. They departed from the principles of the independence of Vanuatu.”
As Dr. Mark Bailey and Dr. John Bevan-Smith state in their book ‘The Covid-19 Fraud and War on Humanity’, “The covid-19 fraud constitutes a war on humanity by organisations that conduct the scam through Big Pharma, the World Economic Forum, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the WHO, mainstream media and complicit governments.”
As part of this scam, the documentary mentions the useless PCR tests and the banning of treatments such as ivermectin. Also, non-pharmaceutical interventions such as masks and social distancing were used as forms of control and a test of compliance for populations around the world.
Vanuatu Becomes an UN-Controlled Dictatorship
Pharmaceutical companies have been given immunity by governments, including the government of Vanuatu which, on the advice of WHO, passed a bill in Parliament in April 2021 giving immunity to pharmaceutical companies that wanted to market their experimental injection to Vanuatu.
A reliable source from Parliament said that almost nobody had read the bill, yet they voted in favour of it. Why? Control from foreign entities. “All the organisations behind this bill were the United Nations, WHO, UNICEF, World Bank, Asian Development Bank and some more,” the narrator said.
Former Deputy Prime Minister Joshua Kalsakau criticised the Government for not doing thorough checks on the safety of vaccines before giving immunity to pharmaceutical companies.
Member of Parliament Andrew Napuat also criticised the lack of satisfactory answers from doctors about what kind of vaccines were being injected into people and what the side effects were. “They didn’t know. And yet, they said it will protect everyone,” he said.
Mr. Napuat asked the doctors how it would protect everyone. “They said they have to stick everyone with a first dose, then a second dose and then it will protect everyone,” he said.
Mr. Napuat told the doctors he had done some research and found out that the vaccines would not give 100% protection to everyone. “So, they said, ‘Yes, but you get one dose, and when you are over 60 years old, you get another one, when you are 40…’ When they started talking like this, I knew that these men here were lying to the people of Vanuatu.”
“People need to know that WHO lied to them big time,” he said.
Not long after Mr. Napuat started insisting that doctors start providing truthful information about the vaccines to the public, instead of following narratives, a bill was presented to Parliament which said that people could face up to three years in prison for false presentation, on any public platform, that “exposes another person to public hatred, contempt or ridicule” or “injures that person’s profession, on public platforms including television, radio, internet websites and social media.”
The timing of events suggests that the bill was passed to stop people from voicing their opinions regarding the vaccine.
The vaccination rollout in Vanuatu started on 2 June 2021. One month later, the Council of Ministers passed a decision to arrest anyone who spoke out against the vaccine because people were hesitant to take the experimental injection. “The government of Vanuatu became a dictatorship, forcing some people to remain silent,” Mr. Salong said. He and Mr. Napuat were speaking out and resisting the void regime, “freedom comes from God” and no man can take them away, he said. “They tried to silence us, but we spoke out.”
“They tried to stop us from gathering together, then we gathered together. They tried to force us to do social distancing, and then we continued to build our social network and relationships. They tried to scare us with the police, but the police didn’t arrest anyone without following the laws of the Republic of Vanuatu. And the law doesn’t allow anybody to dictate anything in Vanuatu,” Mr. Salong said.
Standing On The Constitution
Tanna’s Paramount Chief, Willie Iata, described his encounter with the police. The police arrived at a meeting of Chiefs to arrest them. He challenged the police with Chapter 2 of the Constitution.
The Constitution, specifically Chapter 2, is a guiding document for the people, with a call to action to stand up for their rights and freedoms, particularly in the face of government mandates and restrictions.
After explaining Chapter 2 of the Constitution to the police, in front of the other Chiefs, the police left without saying another word. No one was arrested.
When the police later went to another Chief’s house to arrest him, the Chief explained Chapter 2 of the Constitution to the police. The police left. “They didn’t bother us anymore until today,” Chief Iata said.
The Constitution is the supreme law of the Republic of Vanuatu, enacted in 1979 and coming into force on 30 July 1980, the day Vanuatu gained independence. It asserts Vanuatu as a sovereign democratic state with sovereignty vested in the people of Vanuatu, exercised through their elected representatives.
The Constitution includes provisions for fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals, establishes basic citizenship laws, and sets up major political, judicial, and cultural institutions. The preamble of the Constitution refers to a commitment to “traditional Melanesian values, faith in God, and Christian principles.” Chapter 2 of the Constitution states:
CHAPTER 2 – FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS AND DUTIES
PART I – Fundamental Rights
