Across oceans and centuries, Indigenous ancestors remain trapped in museum vaults—stolen, studied, and silenced. Oceanbone is a visually haunting and deeply personal journey into the fight for repatriation, where history, poetry, and activism collide. Anchored by a powerful interview with repatriation scholar Dr. Tarisi Vunidilo, the film interweaves the voices of four Native Pacific Island storytellers who channel the spirits of their ancestors, speaking in rhythms of loss, resistance, and homecoming. Through striking imagery of museum corridors, ancestral rituals, and the vast Pacific, Oceanbone reveals the colonial legacies that displaced these remains—and the urgent movement to return them. As the waves carry their names once more, the film stands as both an elegy and a call to justice: the ancestors must go home.
