# The Islands of South China & Java Seas

A dated Royal Cruise Line film created to promote their cruise through the Java and South China Seas, with stops in Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Hong Kong. With narration that glorifies the colonial history in the region, the reel is aimed at a white western audience and offers the journey on their fleet of cruise ships as a way to explore Asian and Pacific Islander people and culture. Features meaningful stock photography of landmarks of the region such as the Borobudur Temple in Indonesia and the Peak in Hong Kong among hundreds of other short sequences showing dance, festivals, agriculture, labor, city streets, and landscapes of the four countries visited. Can notes: "China Seas"
