Contrary Warriors: A Film of the Crow Tribe
1985 Film
Moana
Documentary
In the South Seas, Samoan village life is portrayed with a painterly eye. Blending ethnographic detail with a romanticized 'Gauguin idyll', the film celebrates daily rituals, communal traditions, and the passage into adulthood, suffused pride of beauty and pride of strength.
Directed by Robert Flaherty
