    Robert J. Flaherty Robert J. Flaherty Director Ta'avale Ta'avale as Moana Tama Tama as Moana's Father Fa'amgase Fa'amgase as Moana's Fiancé T'ugaita T'ugaita as Moana's Mother
    Robert J. Flaherty’s follow-up to Nanook of the North shifts from the Arctic to the South Seas, portraying Samoan village life with a painterly eye. Blending ethnographic detail with a romanticized “Gauguin idyll,” the film celebrates daily rituals, communal traditions, and the passage into adulthood, suffused with what Flaherty called “pride of beauty, pride of strength.”
