Join us for a screening of Hawaiian: The Legend of Eddie Aikau as we celebrate Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month.
Hawaiian: The Legend of Eddie Aikau
Hawaiian: The Legend of Eddie Aikau chronicles the remarkable life and times of the late Eddie Aikau, the legendary Hawaiian big wave surfer, pioneering lifeguard and voyager. With its rich combination of archival imagery, dramatic reenactments, contemporary interviews and meticulously researched historical source material Hawaiian is a compelling examination of the tragic decline and extraordinary rebirth of the Hawaiian culture as personified by a native son whose dynamic life and heroic death served as inspiration to an entire spiritual movement.
