Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Right up the alley of anyone who likes learning something new. You'll come away knowing something you didn't.
The mood
Eye-opening.
The pace
Well paced for a documentary, at 12 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1940: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

The film depicts one of the great hunts the South Sea Islanders. Come schools of fish in one of the bays on the island, so hurry on an alarm signal all the people out to sea to seal off the bay to drive the fish towards the coast and to impose there with spears.
