Moana (1926)

Directed by Robert Flaherty, Frances H. Flaherty

Documentary · 1h 38m

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.
