Why We Sail. Reflecting on the honor of filming this with The Polynesian Voyaging Society and legendary Native Hawaiian navigator Nainoa Thompson, as we celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. At the time of filming the Hikianalia had arrived in California after an important 2,800 mile journey from Hawai’i to raise awareness about the impacts of climate change and rising sea levels. She and her sister vessel Hōkūle’a are currently preparing for the relaunch of Moananuiākea Voyage’s Pacific Circumnavigation - a global education campaign that amplifies the importance of Indigenous cultures and ocean knowledge through storytelling and education. The American Association of Geographers has announced Nainoa Thompson as this year’s Honorary Geographer. The Sound Off Team were lucky to recently attend a special screening of HIFF-winning short ‘Hōkūle’a: Finding The Language of the Navigator’ directed by Ty Sanga, which shines a light on the legacy of this important vessel and its team. https://lnkd.in/gsupigqn #aapiheritagemonth #pacificislander #hawaii #circumnavigation

Meet the talented women we are proud to have steering our core team! Adrienne Hall, CEO, is our fearless leader that co-founded Sound Off in 2014 in response to underrepresentation of women and other minority voices in documentary and branded content.
