Overview

There are few places on Earth that conjure a sense of ancient knowledge and identity more than Easter Island. For the islanders, however, preserving the ancestral wealth of their cultural traditions is becoming more difficult as the modern world engulfs them with its Getaway-of-the-Week and Instagram reality. In this evocative and artfully crafted short, filmmakers Max Lowe and Clay Mason introduce us to one islander who doesn’t shy from shouldering the responsibility of his rich and threatened heritage.
