Tanna
Two tribes. One love.
Directed by Bentley Dean, Martin Butler
Produced by Contact Films
A tender romance set against tribal tradition and cultural conflict, where two young lovers' passion collides with their community's survival and the tension between preserving heritage and embracing individual choice.
In a traditional tribal society in the South Pacific, a young girl, Wawa, falls in love with her chief’s grandson, Dain. When an inter-tribal war escalates, Wawa is unknowingly betrothed as part of a peace deal. The young lovers run away, refusing her arranged fate. They must choose between their hearts and the future of the tribe, while the villagers must wrestle with preserving their traditional culture and adapting it to the increasing outside demands for individual freedom.
