In 1923, pioneering filmmaker Robert J. Flaherty journeyed with his wife Frances to the South Seas island of Savai'i to document the daily life, customs, rituals, and traditions of the Samoan people. Fifty years later, their daughter Monica returned to record native sounds and traditional songs, creating "Moana with Sound," a beautiful work of docufiction and an important piece of film history.
