On the remote volcanic island of Tanna in Vanuatu, one of the last traditional tribes in the world still lives by the old ways. When Wawa, a young woman of the Yakel tribe, falls in love with Dain, her chief's grandson, their love is forbidden — and when war with a rival tribe escalates, Wawa is unknowingly betrothed as part of a peace deal. The two lovers flee into the jungle, pursued by warriors from both tribes, forced to choose between their hearts and the future of everyone they love. Based on true events from 1987 that changed the laws and customs of the Yakel people forever, Tanna was filmed entirely on location with non-professional actors from the tribe itself — people who had never seen a film or a movie camera. The result is one of cinema's most breathtaking love stories. Academy Award nominated. Venice Film Festival Audience Award winner.
