Celebrate World Ocean Day (June 8) and National Ocean Month with a hana hou screening of Ocean with David Attenborough. First shown in April at the Mango Theater to celebrate Earth Day, this special event invites everyone to come together for an inspiring look at the world’s oceans through the lens of legendary naturalist Sir David Attenborough.
After the film, stay to listen to a previously recorded talk-story and Q&A featuring Molokai’s own Mac Poepoe, alongside longtime collaborator Dr. Alan Friedlander and Dr. Randy Kosaki, recently retired NOAA marine biologist for Papahānaumokuākea National Marine Sanctuary. Dr. Friedlander recently retired as Chief Scientist of National Geographic’s Pristine Seas program, which helped produce the film. Together, they shared insights, stories, and perspectives on ocean stewardship and the importance of caring for our marine resources.
