Today Rapa Nui is a major tourist destination fully linked into the digital world and facing all of its many challenges. We are very excited about a new documentary Eating Up Easter made by Sergio Rapu, a young Rapanui filmmaker and good friend. His film tells a harrowing tale of important conservation problems but also points the way forward to the future for the island and for all of us.
