The Voyage of Tanai

1971 G 1h 32m 8

A young Polynesian by the name of Tanai goes in search of the island of his dreams on an epic sea voyage from Polynesia to Alaska, aboard a tiny fragile raft, guided by the voice of his ancestors.

Tanai, a young Polynesian, sets out on a voyage to obtain soil to plant a breadfruit tree, symbolic of survival to his people. Through storms and rushing tides, Tanai visits some of the most spectacular areas of the world. He battles the Philipino mud people, confronts Easter Island's bizarre ancient sculptures, and fights thirst and hunger. His amazing voyage takes him to the remotest corners of the globe, but the voices of his ancestors guide him on. Upon his return, Tanai must face another challenge of the Modern world--the relocation of his people.
