It's on Netflix. If you don't have Netflix, you can watch the whole thing here:

I urge you to watch it. How neat. You learn a lot about Easter Island and will be full of information should you ever need to discuss it. The main point of this documentary, though, is about how the moai were moved from where they were carved to the coasts. Wait until you see how they know where they were carved. The whole thing is neat. But this documentary is about the experiment of how to move them. According to the oral history of the Rapa Nui people, the moai walked there. There have been many attempts to explain and recreate the method, but none of it has worked so far... until now. Watch this and you'll be cheering and trying to participate from the couch, like I was.
