(2012)Kon-Tiki 2012
Kon-Tiki is the name of the raft (after the legendary Inca god) that Norwegian scientist Thor Heyerdahl and five of his friends used on their 1947 voyage from the west coast of South America to the islands east of Tahiti. In 1950, Heyerdahl published a diary of his travels with friends to prove the idea that people in ancient America could cross the ocean on a raft and establish colonies in Polynesia. This travel biography was first shot in black and white in 1954. The journey, which is also the subject of this movie in 2012, is about 4,300 miles and 101 days of adventure on a raft made of logs.
