Hawaiian, The Legend of Eddie Aikau

I believe that when the filmmakers named this film Hawaiian, the legend of Eddie Aikau, they wanted people to look at this documentary as a reservation of the Hawaiian culture, and how this one man could change how people looked at Hawaii. The topic in this documentary was Eddie Aikau, the focus was the Hawaiians that identified a surfing career of Eddie Aikau, and the angle was argued, that Eddie Aikau worked hard to sustain Hawaiian culture, and brought honor to his family and ancestors through his courageous actions. This documentary was made as part of ESPN's programming because surfing was a huge sport in Hawaii, many of the competitions that were showed are still happening today, so it could've been an example of different competitions going on in different parts of the US. If this film was made by PBS or the history channel it would've been more factual, more dramatic, and definitely more focused on Hawaiian culture.

This documentary was mainly focused on Eddies fight, Hawaiian culture, the ocean, surfing, family, ancestors, Eddie's passion, community, and pride.
