I learned about the John Frum Cargo Cult while reading up on Vanuatu before the Survivor tv show went there last season. As much as that show is into "themes" related to the local island legends, they curiously never mentioned the Frum cult. In any event, it's a fascinating story.

The short write-up on your linked page doesn't go into the division that occured on the island between those who believed and those who didn't. Apparently it led to a great social divide that exists to this day.
