Heart of the Sea: Kapolioka'ehukai
Heart of the Sea is an hour-long documentary about Hawaiian legend Rell “Kapolioka’ehukai” Sunn who died in January 1998 of breast cancer at the age of 47. Known worldwide as a pioneer of women’s professional surfing, in the Islands Rell Sunn achieved the stature of an icon — not only for her physical power, grace and luminous beauty, but for her leadership in a community that loved her as much as she loved it. Named one of Hawai’i’s most influential women of the 20th century by ABC television, Sunn – whose Hawaiian name means Heart of the Sea – was eulogized in the New York Times for having “captured the heart of Hawai’i during a 14-year battle with cancer.”
