Win a Double Pass to see KON TIKI (http://accessreel.com/sites/default/files/Kon%20Tiki%20Key%20Art.jpg) To celebrate the release of the Oscar nominated KON TIKI we have 10 double in-season passes to give away to this inspiring and exciting adventure. Based on a true story, Kon-Tiki is a bold and epic adventure about one man’s determination to fulfil his dream. Kon-Tiki is an epic adventure that recounts one of the great real-life explorations of the twentieth century. In 1947, explorer and ethnographer Thor Heyerdahl began an 8,000-kilometre voyage across the Pacific on a balsa wood raft with a rather motley and inexperienced crew, in a dangerous attempt to prove his theory that Polynesia was populated by settlers from South America, rather than Asia as widely assumed by the scientific community. A risk-taker since childhood, Heyerdahl (Pål Sverre Hagen) is one of the last examples of the scientist as adventurer. Unable to find a publisher to print his thesis about the migration of early civilizations — much of it devised during his stay on Fatu Hiva, an island in the Marquesas — he hatches his plan to cross the Pacific on raft, just like the ancient Incas before him. Unshakeable in his determination, Heyerdahl simply refuses to give up — despite the fact that the scientific community openly mocks him, he can't find funding for the voyage, his first recruit for the raft's crew is a somewhat stocky refrigerator salesman, and he himself can't actually swim. A bold and inspiring epic, Kon-Tiki features extraordinary photography by Geir Hartly Andreassen. The visuals are suffused with a palpable sense of awe at the beauty of the natural world; seldom has a film made the night sky look so full of possibility or the ocean surface seem so teeming with life. The episodes when the crew must deal with sudden thunderstorms, a shark attack, and an encounter with a playful whale that escalates into a near catastrophe, are breathtakingly executed. Kon-Tiki is one of those rare movies that restores our sense of wonder.
