Rapa Nui
Directed by Kevin Reynolds
Produced by Tig Productions, Majestic Films International
An epic adventure set on Easter Island that weaves tribal competition, forbidden romance, and spiritual ritual into a visually striking exploration of indigenous culture and survival.
Inter-tribal rivalry leads to a competition to erect a huge Maoi statue in record time before Make can take part in the race to retrieve the egg of a Sooty Tern. The reward for winning this race is to rule the island for one year.
