“A documentary that takes a retrospective look at the influence of Mau Piailug, a native from the tiny Micronesian atoll of Satalwal, in reviving the art of non-instrument navigation in Polynesia. Relying solely on his knowledge of celestial bodies, oceanic currents, and natural markers, Mau guided the traditional sailing canoe Hokulea on a 1976 voyaging from Hawaii to Tahiti, a journey not completed in more than 600 years. For Native Hawaiians, this expedition signaled an exodus from the cultural doldrums of the previous century.” - IMDB.com
