Here's the details: Independent Lens - on PBS Heart of the Sea: Kapolioka'ehukai 60 min. “Heart of the Sea: Kapolioka'ehukai” profiles Rell Sunn (1950-98), a pioneer in women's surfing who lived for 14 years with breast cancer. It didn't stop her from surfing, or doing the many other good things she did (organizing children's surfing competitions and serving as a breast-cancer advocate are two) in Makana, the rundown Oahu beach town she loved with a passion. The hour includes several interviews with Sunn (one taped just months before she died), as well as with friends and her daughter, Jan-Sunn Carreira, who says: “It's so graceful seeing mom on a wave. That's what it is, it's grace.” (VCR Plus+ 7148) She shows off her tiki collection at the beginning and the entire hour sits by her incredible tiki lamp as they speak to her about her amazing life. Swanky and I were touched.
