30 FOR 30 “HAWAIIAN: THE LEGEND OF EDDIE AIKAU”
From TAUBLIEB Films, comes the Emmy Award winning documentary, Hawaiian: The Legend of Eddie Aikau, chronicles how a shy young islander battled against cultural and even racial bias to become not only one of Hawaii’s most famous surfers, but a pioneering lifeguard at one of the most dangerous beaches on earth. How both in and out of the ocean he fought to retain the dignity of his people in a New Hawaii, where the spirit of the islands has reduced to tourist poster copy. And how, during the epic journey of the Polynesian voyaging canoe Hokulea to Tahiti in 1978, he gave his “last full measure” in the effort to save not only the lives of his shipwrecked crew mates but the soul of Hawaii itself.
