Easter Island: An End to Isolation? (Americas Now, Part 2)

This Americas Now special report takes us to Easter Island, home to the Rapa Nui, a community which thrived, and then almost vanished, in near-total isolation from the outside world. Correspondent Stephen Gibbs explores the challenges the modern day Rapa Nui people face as scheduled flights, tax-free benefits, and immigration from Chile bring their island’s isolation to an abrupt end.
