It relates to Hawaii as an island existence and to a discussion of the effects of climate change in this way....
Ok... I'm at my desk...
It's called "Silent Sentinels: The Mystery of Easter Island" Produced 1990.
Here is the description:
SUMMARY Easter Island, a remote island off the coast of Chile, was once the home of an extremely complex and sophisticated culture.Now, only the remnants of its art and architecture remain as proof that this culture even existed. This program explores the origins and the abrupt downfall of Easter Island's 1,000-year-old culture, and how its societal organization and beliefs are reflected in their famous statues and their aesthetically complex architecture....
You know my email Rob.
