Gow the Head Hunter

In "Gow the Head Hunter", we witness the raw, unflinching truth of a long-forgotten practice: head-hunting in the New Hebrides islands. Captured on film by Captain Edward A. Salisbury, this documentary-style film presents an unvarnished look at the customs of these Pacific isles, where "gow" - not a man's name, but rather the term itself - was a brutal reality for some of its native inhabitants.
