I believe that the filmmakers called this film Hawaiian, The Legend of Eddie Aikau because they wanted to show people about his native culture and that nobody knows what truly happened to him. The angle was that Eddie Aikau was not only important to the surfing culture but also a huge aspect to the Hawaiian culture. Because ESPN made this documentary, it was mainly made around the surfing aspect because we can assume that the audience it more interested in the "big waves" other than the history part of it. But I also do believe ESPN wanted to show about the strong character that Eddie Aikau showed because sports are based around true character. If this film was made by PBS or the History channel the film would be based around the Hawaiian culture of surfing and Eddie Aikau.
Topic: Teddy Roosevelt
Focus: How did Roosevelt had an impact on people?
Angle: He rose from being in the army to being the President of the United States.
Poor work.
