The Tangaroa Expedition (Ekspedisjonen Tangaroa) (2007)


A documentary following Thor Heyerdahl’s grandson on his journey across the pacific from Peru to French Polynesia. Thor’s exploits were recently featured in the Oscar nominated Norwegian film Kon-Tiki. Tangaroa’s narration was in English, but much of the crew’s conversation was in Norwegian. Even so, I was still able to follow most of what went on and enjoy the documentary.

One of my favorite lines from the film was, “It’s the first time I’ve been taking a shower and fishing at the same time.” Said as he’s shampooing his hair in the rain and holding a fishing rod. Makes you want to drop everything and seek out adventure.
