Posted October 20, 2014 at 5:36 am by Tim Dustrude
Kon-Tiki will be the last Tuesday night film at the Grange before the Friday Harbor Film Festival – It will be shown at 7:00 pm, October 21st at the Grange hall.
Kon-Tiki is the Academy Award-winning film of an astonishing adventure, a journey spanning 4300 nautical miles across the Pacific Ocean by raft. Intrigued by Polynesian folklore, Norwegian biologist Thor Heyerdahl suspected that the South Sea Islands had been settled by an ancient race from thousands of miles to the east, led by the mythical hero Kon-Tiki.
Lynn Danaher, well versed in Polynesian culture will be on hand to answer any questions and share her Kon-Tiki artifacts including a piece of the original lashing.
