French Polynesian cinema is rare on the world stage, but the islands have provided backdrops and stories that sit somewhere between paradise and political tension. Rebellion, set during the 1987 Tahitian uprising, is a striking example of local history rendered on screen. Have a look at what Macca made of it below.
Rating: 1.5★
