This documentary celebrates the historic Worldwide Voyage that connected countless individuals and communities from around the globe. In 1976, a voyaging canoe sparked a cultural revival that quickly spread throughout Polynesia, breathing life into ancient myths and legends. More than four decades later, Hōkūle‘a continues to inspire a new generation of navigators and voyagers to gather their courage and sail beyond the horizon of the Pacific.

Director's Statement

It is a humbling experience anytime we are allowed on the deck of Hōkūle‘a. The experience of sailing in far away oceans and visiting these ports around the globe as both a filmmaker and crewmember has changed my life. I am honored to have been part of the team that documented the voyage and to help tell this chapter of Hōkūle‘a’s story.
