  • One month after a devastating wildfire tore through Lahaina, Maui, this emotional documentary follows the paddle out ceremony honoring lives lost. We interview heartbroken victims who lost everything in the blaze and controversially still can't access their property. While rebuilding continues, the community comes together for this moving Hawaiian ceremony to say goodbye to loved ones and pay tribute to the island's resilience. As we return from the ceremony by boat, a massive pod of dolphins begins swimming alongside us. According to Hawaiian beliefs, dolphins escort the souls of the recently departed to the afterlife. This stirring scene provides comfort and hope for Maui's future. Experience the moving stories, stunning visuals, and spiritual connection to nature in this documentary about the road to recovery after tragedy.

      @@VinceTomJones , I would respectfully disagree. I have had the great pleasure of working with Hawaiian families, 7 days a week, no days off, some times we would work 18 hours a day. What I learned is that they are the hardest working people I have ever known. They love deeply each and every family member even an adopte one like me. They teach respect to their offspring and the offspring show respect to those they meet. They love to have parties and no one leaves their house, hungry. And every Sunday, the whole gang would head to church. If the church had a volleyball team, they coached, they never missed a Sunday. It was a beautiful, eye opening experience for me. I also learned about how we really acquired Hawaii. I worked with them for 5 years. Oh, one more thing I disagree with, is you seem to speak for GOD here. I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that, whilst we should use discernment , we should not be so presumptuous to think that GOD had anything to do with these fires.

    The only time I've actually cried for Lahaina is when you showed the "paddle out" in the beginning & end. I don't know why, maybe the emotions of the ppl. Maybe because it's the first time I've seen the community together. Maybe I'm picking up the joy it gave them to do this. I don't know. I don't know Hawaiian language, but when that man spoke I could feel the power. Then the dolphins!!! Holy cow.

    I was thirteen the first time I went to Lahaina, I'm now 62. It was a sleepy little hippy town back in the mid 70's, so different from what it became. As a boater, scuba diver and a drinker Lahaina town was the center of all our adventures. The drinking would start as soon as the gear was rinsed and stowed. Every tattoo on my body was done off Front St. or near the dive shop. Always took it for granted that Lahaina would there our next time out, now it's nothing but ashes and memories.
