The red and white flag that Wilem received from the Indonesian army.

Digo is indeed located in Indonesian territory, but every morning, the Papua New Guinea national anthem is played in the village.

The song is sung by students at the only school in Digo, guided by their only teacher, July Awom. All 15 students are barefoot. Only July wears flip flops.
