able, because of which 8,000 km journey, across the entire Pacific Ocean.
In 1946, the protagonist promoted his research results and theories in New York, USA, but no one believed him, and no publishers followed his research, so he did not receive any sponsorship. In the bar, the protagonist met an adventurous refrigerator seller. Fat salesman Singh, Singh decided to follow the protagonist to complete this expedition plan.
In 1957 the protagonist and Singh came to Peru, master Tuo Siting and radio, as well as Kent Eric (child saved the life of the protagonist, is said to have magical qualities), geographer Bant
Nepal (go alone to the Amazon jungle, photography Master) A total of 6 people formed the team of this expedition. They used an ancient crafting method 1500 years ago to make a raft for their expedition, in order to prove that in ancient times, the Polynesians used rafts to come to the Polynesian Islands from faraway Peru, South America. The protagonist is very lucky to get funding from the Peruvian President Joe Bastarmante, as well as materials and equipment from the U.S. Navy.
Speaking of which, on May 8, 1947, the expedition team departed from Puerto Callaoro, Peru!
It was a calm day at first. Everyone sat leisurely and chatted and ate and ate, and there was a colorful parrot on the boat. It was obvious from the beginning that, except for the geographer Bentney, the outdoor experience of others was far from enough to complete this expedition. Seeing this, I am really worried about this group of people! The journey will last about 100 days! Everyone started the countdown!
When they got up one morning, everyone found that there were many fish with transparent double fins like flying fish on the boat, and they were photographed with a camera. The boat’s radio could not be used normally. Talking,
Everyone ushered in the first storm, and the hesitation wind was so great that they could only abandon the mainsail. During the storm, Thor was knocked down into the sea, and his magical friend Eric saved him. Misfortune did not come singly. In the morning, the radio sounding balloon was lost by the damn parrot on the ship!
In a peaceful morning, a whale shark greeted everyone. Who knew that the fat salesman Singh shot a spear at the whale shark and hit it on the head. The spear was taken away by the whale shark.
The safety of the ship itself has also been questioned. Due to the erosion of the sea, the wooden ship is becoming more and more fragile! For some reason, that damn parrot jumped into the sea one day. He was eaten by a shark immediately, Kent was furious, caught a shark with his bare hands on the boat, and killed it with a knife! As the raft was eroded, there was immediate danger of decomposition. Fatty salesman Singh begged
Thor to tie up the raft with a wire rope for the sake of everyone, but Thor threw all the wire rope into the sea. Singh got up and fell into the sea. The situation was very critical. Everyone broke down the sharks killed just now and threw them into the sea to attract the attention of the sharks. The hunk Kent jumped into the sea and rescued Shulman!
On September 7, 1947, everyone came to a distance of 250 meters from the destination. As the island was surrounded by reefs and could not land directly, the salesperson Singh came up with the rule that the peak value of the waves is 13 times, and wanted to use the 13th time. The huge waves shot the boat directly over the reef area to the island. However. . . Failed, everyone fell into the water, the water is very shallow, everyone has landed on the island now!
With this, the story is over, and the ending footage has everyone's future deeds. In 2013, everyone in the film has passed away.
The real documentary filmed during this trip also won the Oscar for Best Documentary in 1952, and the film was nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar in 2012.
