The Other Side of Paradise is a 1992 miniseries based on the book by British novelist and journalist Noel Barber, about a doctor who goes to the Cook Islands.[1]

When pioneering doctor Kit Masters is forced to flee England, he makes a new start on the South Sea island of Koraloona. Enchanted by the island and its people, Kit falls in love with the daughter of the island princess, and dreams of building a hospital. But all is under threat as war approaches.[2]
