Maui's Paddle Out Ceremony: Healing After Lahaina Fire

8 ай бұрын

One month after a devastating wildfire tore through Lahaina, Maui, this emotional documentary follows the paddle out ceremony honoring lives lost. We interview heartbroken victims who lost everything in the blaze and controversially still can't access their property. While rebuilding continues, the community comes together for this moving Hawaiian ceremony to say goodbye to loved ones and pay tribute to the island's resilience. As we return from the ceremony by boat, a massive pod of dolphins begins swimming alongside us. According to Hawaiian beliefs, dolphins escort the souls of the recently departed to the afterlife. This stirring scene provides comfort and hope for Maui's future. Experience the moving stories, stunning visuals, and spiritual connection to nature in this documentary about the road to recovery after tragedy.

@@VinceTomJones , I would respectfully disagree. I have had the great pleasure of working with Hawaiian families, 7 days a week, no days off, some times we would work 18 hours a day. What I learned is that they are the hardest working people I have ever known. They love deeply each and every family member even an adopte one like me. They teach respect to their offspring and the offspring show respect to those they meet. They love to have parties and no one leaves their house, hungry. And every Sunday, the whole gang would head to church. If the church had a volleyball team, they coached, they never missed a Sunday. It was a beautiful, eye opening experience for me. I also learned about how we really acquired Hawaii. I worked with them for 5 years. Oh, one more thing I disagree with, is you seem to speak for GOD here. I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that, whilst we should use discernment , we should not be so presumptuous to think that GOD had anything to do with these fires.

HOW can you begin again when you no longer have a job, no car, your home is ash, you are still accountable for your mortgage and hoa fees, and you'll most likely end up in bankruptcy??? "...if they choose???" Who TF chose that!!!???? You must be a not so sharp renter or live w mom and dad. You Get a life, or wake up, or Something !!!

So beautiful listening to the people tell their stories. It definitely helps the rest of us in the US know what's going on because we are with you. This was a beautiful update and Ceremony. When the helicopter dropped all the flowers and the dolphins swam with the boat, I lost it and just burst into tears. Just let us know how to help...we are with you.❤❤❤❤

My HEART breaks for all these people! What has been done to them by our government is beyond despicable!! May they stand strong, hold on to their land, and vote RED! I pray for them, and the deceased, every day! I pray they overcome this murderous act! This paddle out is beautiful! It is a wonderful way to show respect to the lost loved ones. My husband and I witnessed a paddle out for Jack O'neill when he passed (in Santa Cruz) It was one of the most touching experiences I have ever had. My love goes out to all in Maui!! At the end of Jack's paddle out, a huge whale leaped out of the ocean. Even ocean creatures are connected to mourning! Everyone, PLEASE continue to support and donate to the people of Maui!!

@@christinequennell5855 God will not protect them. God has never protected any nation from war or occupation. He didn't protect the innnocent Vietnamese people, not the native Indians and he didn't protect the poor people of Lahaina. You can pray til the cows come home but it won't change a thing. Change happens when people actively do something - that's the only way.

@@websurfer5772 Most likely got put on those missing 15 buses. I think some parents and kids got loaded on the Lanai'i ferry (btw...Where is that Ferry now???) and the 183 dead bodies are the parents that got knocked off and washed up on the Lanai'i shores. Bc, you cannot float from Maui across to Lanai'i or Molaki'i w/o getting sucked south to Tahiti...near impossible. It is a dangerous channel w a strong current south.
