Moana (With Sound)

Pioneering documentarian Robert J. Flaherty sojourned to the South Seas to capture the lifestyle of the Samoan people by chronicling the existence of one island family. Much as he portrayed Eskimo life in "Nanook of the North" (right down to the certain degree of staging), his efforts offered a window into the vanishing aspects of a culture. This edition contains the new audio track captured by daughter Monica Flaherty in 1980. 98 min. Standard; Soundtrack: music score; bonus short "Twenty-Four-Dollar Island" (1927). Silent with music score.
