Venture Crew
Nova York, 1933. Ann Darrow (Naomi Watts), uma atriz de vaudeville, enfrenta dificuldades para se sustentar, como vários outros americanos durante a Grande Depressão. Ela caminha pelas ruas de Manhattan pensando na possibilidade de trabalhar em um cabaré, até que a fome a faz roubar uma maçã. Ann é salva pelo cineasta Carl Denham (Jack Black), que oferece a ela o papel principal em sua próxima produção. Inicialmente indecisa, Ann aceita a oferta após saber que o roteirista é o conceituado dramaturgo Jack Driscoll (Adrien Brody). Na verdade Carl está em apuros, já que o patrocínio para concluir seu filme inacabado foi cancelado e sua antiga atriz principal abandonou o projeto. Apesar dos problemas, Carl embarca a equipe e o elenco de seu filme no cargueiro fretado S.S. Venture. O objetivo da viagem é chegar na Ilha da Caveira, que tem a fama de abrigar uma raça perdida e várias criaturas consideradas extintas.

This remarkable film traces the final impact which both races had on the indigenous Moriori of the Chatham Islands. Moriori were a peaceful people who vowed never to take up arms against another human being. They were capable of defeating the invaders, but chose not to. Drawing inspiration from Michael King's seminal book Moriori, The Feathers of Peace brings the truth about what happened on the Chathams to an even wider audience. To do that, the film uses modern television news techniques and dramatized documentary.
