Desperately seeking Moana


FlashFramers are asked to don their thinking caps and scratch their head (first scratch, then don cap). A T'Bay playwright is desperately seeking the classic "Moana, A Story of the South Seas" (1926).

It's the cinema's first "docufiction" production and directed by Robert Flaherty (yes, the same Flaherty who shot "Nanook of the North) who considered it his finest work. It's also in the US Library of Congress, but somehow doesn't seem to be available on DVD. Maybe as a (bit torrent) download?

Any help is highly appreciated. Please contact Hubert @tbaytel.net or 474-3968 if you have any leads.
Thanks all!
