- Legendary explorer Thor Heyerdahl's epic 4,300-mile crossing of the Pacific on a balsawood raft in 1947, in an effort to prove that it was possible for South Americans to settle in Polynesia in pre-Columbian times.
- A documentary about the Kon-Tiki expedition of the Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl.

- KON-TIKI TIME THEATER with Rev. Tommy Gunn, features tiki and nautical themed horror films hosted by Rev. Tommy Gunn filmed in Dayton, Ohio and shown around the world via online stations.

- On April 28, 1947, the Kon-Tiki float left Peru to sail across the Pacific to Polynesia. Thor Heyerdahl tells his story about his struggle to get his expedition ready, and the 101-day journey on board the float together with five other men. In retrospect, he led an even tougher struggle to get the new theories about the Polynesian population recognized in scientific circles. This documentary also deals with the high media interest that followed in the wake, with the book of Kon-Tiki translated into over 70 languages, and the documentary film that was awarded an Oscar in 1951.
- Kon-Tiki tells the autobiographical tale of youth, growing up in the '70's, being different, unaccepted by your family, of escape, of release. Interpret it as you will, but the directing talent that is Andrew Rutter has taken the theme and run to the hills and lakes with it. A cinematic tour-de-force, it depicts a boy who wishes he was a girl, set back when even the thought of a transgender person was taboo. A post war father, looking down his nose at the remains of varnish on his son's nails, a sister, comrade in arms and blood, looking protective and concerned. It's a stark and sad document about the turmoil of feeling you don't belong in your own skin. Beautifully shot, all done for the love of the band, it's a stunning introduction to the record, two sides of reflection and nostalgia but startlingly prescient depictions of Britain.
