In 1947, the Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl gathered a crew of six men (and one parrot) and set out on a fearless voyage across the Pacific Ocean. On board the hand-built raft was also a 16 mm camera. After 101 days at sea, Heyerdahl and his men reached the shores of Polynesia, and in 1951 the dramatic footage they later sculpted into a film was awarded an Oscar for Best Documentary.
