In “Eating Up Easter,” filmmaker Sergio M. Rapu turns his focus to his native land, exploring the environmental challenges faced by the Rapanui community due to excessive tourism and industrial development. Rapu narrates the film, sharing with his son the serious issues confronting Easter Island and the difficult choices its residents must make. As the island struggles to cope with relentless change, the documentary highlights locals who are striving to navigate these challenges: an ecologist working to mitigate the escalating waste problem impacting both the island and its surrounding waters, two musicians aiming to create a free music school to help preserve cultural heritage, and Rapu’s father, the island’s former Governor, who finds himself torn between upholding cultural traditions and meeting the increasing demands of modern industry.
