Ma'ohi Nui, in the Heart of the Ocean My Country Lies

French colonial history and 30 years of nuclear tests have filled Tahitian shantytowns with an alienated and tired people. Today the Ma'ohi people have forgotten their language, ignored their history and lost their connection to their land and to the world. The film shows the face of contemporary colonisation and the vital impetus of a people trying not to forget themselves and silently seeking the path of independence.
