The Island in Me
PBS HAWAIʻI PRESENTS

Two women who grew up on Pukapuka, a remote atoll in the Cook Islands in the South Pacific, return home decades later to reconnect. Amelia Hokulea Borofsky, the daughter of an anthropologist and Johnny Frisbie, who wrote the first published work by a Pacific Islander at age 15, left the atoll at different times. In returning, they find a sense of belonging with emotion and celebration.
