Building on legendary documentarist Dennis O'Rourke's first film, Yumi Yet, Ileksen documents Papua New Guinea's first democration election. As in many of his other films, O'Rourke expertly documents the juxtaposition of western culture and ideals against a native population's way of life. In Ileksen, Papua New Guinea gets its first taste of British politics, as the candidates attempt to campaign and secure votes. O'Rourke masterfully captures the islanders discovering the world of political manipulations and maneuverings that take place in western democracies.
