Making a documentary about Native Hawaiian Duke Paoa Kahanamoku was both a dream come true and a huge responsibility for director Isaac Halasima. How does one depict an actual legend, trailblazer, and superhero to his people and community? Much to the delight of interviewer Lee Ngo, Isaac drew from recent Superman films ... and also BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA? Listen to these two fanboys pay homage to the Duke in the best way they could.
