Like hula, surfing was viewed as immoral by European missionaries to Hawai'i, so it had languished until the early twentieth century when the first tourist hotels appeared in Waikiki, and a small band of watermen began to earn their livelihood from surfing instruction and providing outrigger canoe rides for tourists. Award-winning documentarian Caroline Yacoe portrays the current Waikiki Beach Boys as preservers of surfing culture. A surfer herself, Yacoe combines archival footage, interviews with former and current Beach Boys, and music performed by Beach Boy musicians such as the Waikiki Sunset Jammahs. Co-producer and narrator Francine Mikiala Palama reveals both the hard work it takes to become a Beach Boy and how the tradition is passed on. The narration also tells how the 'Ambassadors of Aloha' found romance and a 24-hour party for themselves and for the tourists. Says Beach Boy Woody Brown: 'We're giving them a point of view from the ocean. Looking at the island is a lot different, showing them things they don't see from the land.' This documentary is a cinematic love song to the Waikiki Beach Boys, using archival footage, interviews and music to show how the 'Ambassadors of Aloha' preserve the surf culture and teach it to visitors.

Virtual Reality - THE WAYFINDER is the story of a Kamai, a real-life “Moana.” A vibrant 14-year-old Hawaiian, Kamai dreams of sailing in the wake of her ancestors. Ever since stepping on board a sailing canoe as a young child, Kamai has been drawn to the sea. We follow her journey as she learns the ancient art of wayfinding and discovers that ancient knowledge about guiding canoes provides tools she can use to guide the future of her islands – and navigate the voyage of her lie. Wayfinding, the art of celestial navigation, is based on the Hawaiian philosophy of sustainability –the idea that life choices made in the limited space of a canoe apply to life on an island and life in the global community. Learning these core values and traditions deepens Kamai’s commitment to fight climate change and take care of the ocean that is so essential to survival in Hawai’i and on our shared island, Earth.

This award-winning PBS documentary sweeps viewers into a seafaring adventure with a community of Polynesians, as they build traditional sailing canoes, learn how to follow the stars across the open ocean, and embark upon a 2,000-mile voyage in the wake of their ancestors. Wayfinders focuses on the revival of wayfinding — the art of guiding a canoe across long distances using only natural signs: the sun, the moon, the stars and the ocean swells. Nainoa Thompson is the first Hawaiian in hundreds of years to master celestial navigation. By passing on these ancient skills to a new generation of wayfinders, Nainoa begins the process of recovering connections with the past and preparing for the challenges of the future. Written, Produced and Directed by Gail K. Evenari Edited by Yasha Aginsky & Nathaniel Dorsky Musical Score by Mark Adler Captain Cook portrayed by Patrick Stewart Narrated by Napualani Cassidy. Wayfinders: A Pacific Odyssey was made possible by grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Additional funding was provided by Pacific Islanders in Communications through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. With special appreciation to the Polynesian Voyaging Society.

When the Territorial Governor of Hawaii signed the order for martial law after the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, islanders believed that it was only for a short time, but it ended up lasting until 1944. Fear and hatred directed at Japanese Americans led to suspension of the rule of habeas corpus as the civilian rule of law was replaced by military courts. The director of 'When Fear Reigned,' journalist and historian Tom Coffman, uses eyewitness accounts, stills and news footage to document this period of Hawaiian history, not without parallels to the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. Among the persons interviewed are Ah Quon McElrath, Joanne Kahanamoku Sterling, Doris Berg Nye, Harry Urata and Pat Nomura.
