Kon-tiki

DVD 2013

Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl crossed the Pacific ocean in a balsa wood raft in 1947, together with five men, to prove that South Americans already back in pre-Columbian times could have crossed the sea and settled on Polynesian islands. After gathering financing for the trip with loans and donations, they set off on an epic 101 day-long journey across eight-thousand kilometers, all while the world was watching.
