Amazing Quest: Stories from Hawaii | Somewhere on Earth: Hawaii | Free Documentary

[@FreeDocumentary]

Hawaii is a living land, a dynamic force. Here, Man is dwarfed by Nature whose unbridled force rules supreme. First we meet Scott. He’s explored the rugged landscape from the Waimea Canyon to the Napali Coast, home to the island's earliest inhabitants. Then In Oahu, Yuko is a sailplane pilot. She is always on the lookout for the slightest breeze to satisfy her passion. Finally, we meet Olivier, a French astronomer, who spends a good part of his time on the summit of Big Island, at 4207 meters. Let us know in the comments if you’ve ever been and how you liked it!

This is a documentary of the foreign users of Hawai'i; how others come and take. Mind blowing.

[@sarahscott9601]

I think you are referring to people exploiting & abusing rather than being sharing or respectful? Why are people sometimes exploitive? Maybe because they have different levels of generational loss, instability, or over indulgence from abundance which is weirdly perhaps a different kind of abuse or at least could be the result inherited lack or loss mentality ? Equality is a difficult thing to achieve. The planets resources have never been equal around the globe. We have to deal with that. Projection and Blanket statements are seldom helpful, however, accountability is. Sorry you if feel exploited. I get that. I agree, Hawaii & planet earth are exploited & abused and it sucks. But… to put kindness here… maybe I could reframe that as … we are all trying to thrive and discover, and that in itself is not “evil”. It’s just our nature, so though we are destructive, we are beautiful.

[@flyingcheff]

@sarahscott9601 Thank goodness I don't take anything personally. It's especially heartening that others are inquiring about these topics; thinking about and supporting open discussions. Sometimes, one person's experience (or perception) of a place is dramatically different than another's. There is always so much to learn - how fantastic and important.

[@patriciaduncan6523]

I think there are an over abundance of sociopathic humans on this planet, also psychopaths. These kind of people should be monitored Closely, as their tendencies tend to lead to destructive behaviors some can be fatal. 😮

[@patriciaduncan6523]

My mother was born && raised on Oahu . She worked for Dole pineapple for a while , later worked for the US Military, typing up letters sent to the families of our military members who perished in the Pacific theater during WWII. She also was Miss Pineapple Princess of the Dole plantation before WWII. After 20 + years as a Navy brat , I moved to Honolulu , and while walking down Waikiki a lady approached me and handed me a form and said “I want you to run for Miss Hawaii USA”. I didn’t want to bcuz I was too timid , I hated being on stages & being stared at. My Hawaiian cousins talked me into running. I knew I wouldn’t Win, but I gave it a whirl anyway, I was a nervous wreck, almost fell off the stage….and learned to never volunteer for anything involving a stage. 😮

I remember watching this documentary series about eight years ago and it had became a precious childhood memory I've lost until now. Thank you to the whole Patly Production team for traveling to these amazing places around the world and documenting these amazing people and their way of life in a perspective I've never seen before, and thank you Jerry Giacomo for narrating their stories with your soothing voice, and thank you Free Documentary for bringing these amazing stories back and making them freely available for the whole world to watch

[@flyingcheff]

Gerrys voice IS nice and soothing, and he could do a bit of homework, or in his own professional trajectory benefit, independantly check the screenplay/narration for accuracy. Pono.

I’m a local. Born and raised in Hawaii and I like the science centers. I’m not offended by telescopes. They could put one on a church or a mosque or whatever and I wouldn’t care about that either. I don’t see why you (Joy) or anyone else should either. Science and knowledge are good things.

Such a beautiful place on earth. Looks really cool from the sky. Almost looks until, like a painting or CG. SO pretty. Those trails have to have so many cool things to see and explore. Dude had a good spot to check the whales out. Not sure about the glider, but young lady was getting it up there. Really impressive. Ultimate wind surfing. Land, sea, or air, Hawaii is beautiful and I hope one day to get to explore it. Was fun to watch. Great video

[@carl9729]

It is amazing to have a program about the Hawaiian islands, not from the perspective of a true Hawaiian but white men all of which who truly does not know what is to be Hawaiian and live Hawaiian. It’s almost as if Hawaiians are no longer here. Amazing

[@sandramorey2529]

Very nicely shot documentary. However--where are the Hawaiians? I've spent years on O'ahu, Maui, Kaua'i & Hawaii Island. There are lots of Hawaiians living there and trying to make a living. Too many foreigners have taken much of the available real estate and jobs. Also, there is a movement against the biggest telescope project the University wants to put up on the Sacred Summit. How about showing some of the Hawaiians and their point of view& including some Hawaiian music and dance.

@@maxboya First of all, the only comments that get deleted are when someone posts non-related stuff. Secondly, have you ever worked as a translator? I have. Often, for timing purposes, one has to use shorter or longer words. The context is given but often not verbatim. Sure, there can be some problems. Not all translations are perfect. I know. Thanks for stopping by.

@@maxboya As far as finally speaking, I answer comments regularly. Like daily multiple times.

[@maxboya]

@@FreeDocumentary I speak 11 languages and can read and write fully in 9 of those languages. Therefore I think I have justification to speak on “translations” Lot of the documentaries I’ve watch have had some extremely different and far off translations. Not stuff that’s shortened, but lies. Covering what they actually say. You and your translators changed the truth of what they say to achieve what you want to have displayed to others when they watch your videos. What about that?

Free Documentary I'm sure doesn't have anything to do with the constant bombardment of advertisements during this video. But the advertisers seem to be able to find the most annoying people on earth to act in them. They never have anything to do with what I'm interested in or need. If I'm not close to the mouse to hit skip, I'm tortured for a half hour of it playing in the background. And if by chance I remember what was advertised, I wouldn't buy it if my life depended on it. What ad agency thinks this is the way to sell junk ? Or is it to get you to sign up for ad free playing ?

Only because the american army and govt threatened the hawaiian queens life if they did not sign. Such a gutless way to take a nation. You ask native hawaiians if they are yankee racists, id say no. Not your land, never will be. We are maori from polynesian maori, our area is new zealand to hawaii to easter island and all in between. You are so brainwashed from your sick society.

[@patriciaduncan6523]

Yes, but the Hawaiian people are not happy about all the white ppl coming to Hawaii and buying all the lands they grew up on, and pricing these lands so high that many Hawaiians had to leave & move to mainland, or end up in a homeless camp on the other side of Oahu…. Back in the 1800’s , there were many other countries that would stop off in Hawaii to stock up on supplies of food & fresh water 💦 before continuing on to Russia (Red Flags in the Sunset/song), Britain, Japan, and others. Imagine if Russia or China took over Hawaii…..😳😱

[@patriciaduncan6523]

So, Hawaii was acquired by the USA is not really a bad thing, but I understand why they are pissed! My Hawaiian cousins have had to move to the mainland due to financial issues, it’s just a horrible shame it came to that. They were all born & raised there, even had a home, 20 min. from Waikiki (walking). It makes me sick to think about it.
