...Flaherty caught the attention of the major Hollywood company Paramount, with whom he made Moana, and was then asked to collaborate on two feature films, W. S. Van Dyke's White Shadow (1928) and F. W. Murnau's Taboo (1931). However, he was unable to come to terms with the commercialism of Hollywood, so he traveled to England, where he was given complete freedom by producer Michael Balcon, and made Man of Aran (1934), a film depicting the lives of humans struggling against the harsh elements on an isolated island in the Aran Islands in Northern Ireland. His achievements as a pioneer in the documentary genre led to him being called the ``father of the documentary.'' *Some of the terminology used in reference to the "African Expedition" is listed below.
