Samenvatting
In 1947 wil Thor Heyerdahl bewijzen dat Polynesië werd bevolkt door kolonisten uit Zuid-Amerika en niet uit Azië. Hiervoor reist hij samen met een vijftal onervaren bemanningsleden op een vlot van balsahout van Peru naar Polynesië. Kan hij de oversteek van 8000 kilometer voltooien?Credits
