"Hawaiian, The Legend of Eddie Aikau"

1. The documentary's filmmakers call this film Hawaiian, The Legend of Eddie Aikau because Eddie is a true Hawaiian, and lived a life more than human and didn't just live for himself, or his family, but for Hawaii and all that it stands for.
2. The fils angle was that Most of the Hawaiian culture was seized and almost everything cultural aspect was lost, but Eddie Aikau felt that surfing, family, and culture was a vital part of true Hawaiian culture, and Eddie felt obligated to retain the true spirit of Hawaii through surfing and devotion to community and heritage.
3. We can understand about how the fact that the documentary was made as a part of ESPN's sports programming that the audience's expectations was that the movie was to be action packed with sports and surfing.
4. The dilm might have been different if it were made by PBS or History channel because PBS and History Channel would have made the movie less about the opinion of Eddie, and his sense of family and surfing, and more about the statistics and facts of Hawaiian culture and the travel to Hawaii from Tahiti.

6. Title: Teddy
a. Topic: Theodore Roosevelt
b. Focus: The struggle of leadership through times of trouble and emerging as an enduring American hero.
c. Angle: Theodore Roosevelt is known for his toughness and his leadership qualities, but life as a rough rider was the toughest challenge of his life. Corralling his troops and charging the hill on San Christobol in San Juan with bullets flying by him was not just an act of duty, it was his moral conscious overriding his duties to the county of America.
