CORONATION -- In the Kingdom of Tonga
A documentary Produced and Directed by David Marks
Coronation gives unique and revealing insight into this last surviving monarchy of the South Pacific and the crowning of its new King. Filmed in cinematic HD, Coronation transports the viewer to a distant paradise, introducing them to a dynamic culture and a fascinating leader. In November of 2010 the Polynesian Kingdom of Tonga will transition its government to include a freely elected parliament, yet the monarchy survives with the strength of Tongan tradition. In an exclusive interview, King George V shares his thoughts and perspective about Tonga’s past and future as we view a country with a fascinating ancient identity. The story culminates in a spectacular event filmed with unrivalled access as this island nation gathers for a celebration attended by dignitaries and royalty from around the world. Coronation captures the spirit of Tonga with a compelling, majestic story about the heart and soul of its people.
