Inspired by the legend of Goddess Hina, The Source of Life (Te Puna Ora) unfolds as a compelling tale of resistance on the lush island of Mo’orea. This film follows three exceptional Tahitian women who unite to protect their cherished beach from privatization, determined to prevent their island from facing the same challenges as Tahiti. Their journey uncovers the hidden impacts of unsustainable development, the lingering effects of colonialism on indigenous voices, and issues surrounding land and ocean exploitation. It poignantly illustrates that true progress is inseparable from the preservation of cultural heritage. This journey invites viewers to explore their own traditions for wisdom, strength, and guidance.
