Movie Night @ Your Library

January 20, 2016 @ 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm

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 ultimately, doomed crew member of the Polynesian Voyaging canoe Hōkūle'a.

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.

Guests are welcome to bring their own refreshment.

This program is free and is suitable for all ages. Please contact the library 10 days in advance to request a sign language interpreter or if other special accommodation is needed: 933-8890.
