- The Polynesian Voyaging Society's canoe Hokule'a journeys thousands of miles across open ocean to deliver the ultimate gift to their teacher... Satawalese master navigator Mau Piailug. Their gift is a new voyaging canoe, the Alingano Maisu, built specifically as a "floating classroom" to pass on an ancient body of navigational knowledge to the next generation of Micronesians. Hawaii's legendary navigators: Nainoa Thompson, Bruce Blankenfeld, Chad Baybayan, Shorty Bertlemann and Chadd Paishon are honored in an ancient ceremony known as "Pwo", then sail on a goodwill voyage to Japan to spread the message of peace. Filled with stunning, never-before-seen footage by Paliku documentary film maker Na'alehu Anthony, "Hokule'a: Passing the Torch" is a dramatic, informative and loving account of this amazing historic voyage.
- Nearly 40 years ago, the founders of the Polynesian Voyaging Society dreamed of rebuilding a double-hulled canoe similar to those of our ancestors. What began as an effort to disprove critics who doubted Polynesians' ability to sail purposefully and settle their vast nation unaided by navigational instruments has grown into a cultural reawakening, a new generation of leaders, and a living commitment to sustainability. Hokulea originally sailed to rediscover and then to reconnect. Now she's circling the globe carrying a message of Malama Honua, or caring for Our Island Earth, as we struggle with the degradation of our land and oceans with the firm belief that our ancient wisdom will inspire contemporary solutions.
