In excellent color the film shows shrines, outdoor markets, churches and chapels, gardens, silver and gold mines, and finally the rugged cliffs looking out over the blue Pacific. Intimate glimpses of native life are provided in many scenes, in- cluding views of native market places and community washing-places. The film concludes with scenes of a native diver who plunges hundreds of feet from the cliffs into the ocean below. "A fairly good film for social studies at the junior high level and above. The film makes no pretense of being anything other than travelogue, but the excellent use of color adds to its value. . . Photography, color rendi- tion, and sound are excellent."
