So inspiring. I watched this film and barely moved the whole time. Thor Heyerdahl was a legendary explorer, yes, but what made him especially great was his determination and strength of character. Kon-Tiki revisits the incredible journey he and his friends/crew made across the Pacific. The moments of doubt, the sights and sounds, the will-power, the patience, and trust. Great film.
