NUA RAPA NUI

Easter Island - the navel of the Earth

Creative documentary

Written & directed by Isabel Burr Raty

IN  LATE DEVELOPMENT / 90 min HD

This film travels to the core of Easter Island, beyond the postcard image that we know. Despite countless episodes of foreign "exploration", which began in 1722 with the arrival of a Dutch Captain, the Rapa Nui people have maintained their millenary culture alive. Through the journey of Marisol Hito, a Polynesian house wife that becomes fierce leader in the local territorial struggle, we meet the untold story of those that constructed the mysterious Moai totems.
