Synopsis:
The Land Has Eyes is about a young South Pacific Islander, Viki. Shamed
by her village for being poor and the daughter of a wrongly convicted
thief, Viki is inspired and haunted by the island's mythical ‘warrior
woman’. Reminiscent of Whale Rider, the lush tropical beauty of
Rotuma, Fiji, contrasts with the stifling conformity of her culture
as Viki seeks indigenous justice and her own personal freedom.
