Kon-Tiki

Kon-Tiki recounts the incredible journey of biologist Thor Heyerdahl and five companions as they sail 4,300 nautical miles across the Pacific Ocean on a balsa log raft. Motivated by Polynesian folklore, Heyerdahl aims to prove that ancient settlers from the east could have reached the South Sea Islands, embarking on this daring adventure in 1947. The tale captures their struggles against storms, whales, and sharks, culminating in their arrival at the Polynesian island of Puka Puka. Expertly narrated by Peter Kenny, this classic saga highlights the spirit of exploration and resilience.
