South Sea Adventure Calls

A romantic adventure drama that uses colonial injustice and natural catastrophe to explore themes of freedom, fidelity, and the clash between law and human dignity.
A Polynesian sailor is separated from his wife when he's unjustly imprisoned for defending himself against a colonial bully. Members of the community petition the governor for clemency but all pretense of law and order are soon shattered by an incoming tropical storm.
