Heart of the Sea : Kapolioka'ehukai
Every two years, the cancer would come back with a vengeance and you realize that the life that was once yours, the life you lived, is no longer yours. It belongs to the pain in your back, or your chest, or in your throat, or in your lung, or the medications that make you feel ill. It's not yours anymore, and you just go, 'NO'. But then, when you can get up in the morning and have enough energy to get in the water and catch a wave, you own your life again. - Rell Sun Well, if it's not sold out, I'll be going to a movie about Rell Sun tomorrow. Here's the description from the film arts festival.
Rell Sun captured the heart of Hawaii and the world during a fourteen-year battle with breast cancer. She was a champion in international surfing, one of the first five women inducted into the International Surfing Museum's Walk of Fame, one of the founders of the first women's professional surfing tour and an inspiring teacher to hundreds of young people. HEART OF THE SEA, a visionary biopic of Rell Sun, deftly illustrates the poetry and exhilaration of her sport and the tremendous, lasting impact of her life. She helped make surfing safe for women and inspired hundreds of young people to follow their own hearts and fearlessly ride the waves. 2:47:31 PM comment []  |
