F
rom palaces to prisons and a variety of communities in between, season two of
the anthology series Pacific Heartbeat shares the heart, mind, and soul of Pacific
Island culture. This month, four independent films continue the tradition of both
entertaining and enlightening viewers as stories of the past, present, and future of
these tropical paradises are told. See them on WYCC Sundays at 4 p.m., with encore
presentations Wednesdays at 7 p.m.
One of the documentaries takes place in Tonga, a small island nation as distant from
modernity as it is physically from the United States. Discover how the island reacts to
unwelcome visitors—and how those visitors react to being in a distant land.
The other three documentaries this season focus on Hawaii, with a special emphasis on
its music and dance. From concerts to casual backyard jam sessions and a world-class hula
competition, the Hawaiian people embrace their history while welcoming contemporary culture.

Na Lani ‘Eha from ‘Iolani Palace:
The Music of Hawaiian Royalty
Sunday, May 5 at 4 p.m.
Wednesday, May 8 at 7 p.m.
The luxurious ‘Iolani Palace, the only royal
palace in the United States, opens its doors
for some of Hawaii’s most beloved musicians as they perform
songs composed by the last members of Hawaii’s ruling monarchy.
The palace’s executive director and curator share the historical
background of the stately home, while the musicians explain the
royal repertoire’s cultural significance.
Tonga: The Last Place on Earth
Sunday, May 12 at 4 p.m.
Wednesday, May 15 at 7 p.m.
Ethnic Tongans who have created a
life in the United States are being
deported after being convicted of murder, gang violence, and
other serious crimes. They are forced to leave their families and the
country they know, only to return to the peaceful island nation of
Tonga to serve their jail time. With the community on the island
wary of their arrival, how will these hardened criminals adapt and
survive? Will their presence change Tonga: The Last Place on Earth?
Let’s Play Music! Slack Key with
Cyril Pahinui & Friends
Sunday, May 19 at 4 p.m.
Wednesday, May 22 at 7 p.m.
Cyril Pahinui, who was previously
featured in Season One’s “Waimea ‘Ukulele and Slack Key Guitar,”
continues to carry on the family tradition as a master slack key
guitar musician. His father, the late Gabby “Pop” Pahuini, is
considered to be the godfather of the Hawaiian slack key guitar.
Cyril welcomes viewers to an intimate backyard performance in
the country community of Waimanalo.
Hula, Language of the Heart
Sunday, May 26 at 4 p.m.
Wednesday, May 29 at 7 p.m.
Experience hula like never before
during the 2012 Merrie Monarch
Hula Festival, also known as the “Olympics of Hula.” Performers
compete over the course of four days in the Miss Aloha Hula solo
competition, Hula Kahiko (ancient Hawaiian dance), and Hula
‘Auana (modern Hawaiian dance). The elegance, power, and
rich storytelling of this ancient art form provides viewers with a
thought-provoking look at hula’s role in the past, present, and
future of Hawaii’s people.
Island Info
TONGA
The Kingdom of Tonga
is actually an archipelago
with 170 islands—only 36
of which are inhabited. The
largest island is Tongatapu,
which is where the
capital city of
Nuku’alofa is
located. Tonga has
a population of
over 106,000, which
is slightly more than
the population
of Green Bay,
Wisconsin.
Tongan
rulers created a monarchy over 1,000 years
ago. Today, Tonga is the only monarchy
remaining in the Pacific, with King George
Tupou V as the current ruler.
Food is an important part of Tongan
society. Two of their favorite traditional
dishes are ‘ota ‘ika, raw fish marinated in
lemon and coconut cream, and lu pulu,
corned beef and coconut milk wrapped in
taro leaves. ‘Lo, faka molemole! (Which is
“Yes, please!” in Tongan.)
Kauai
Oahu
HAWAII
Molokai
Lania
Maui
There are six major islands
in Hawaii: Kauai, Oahu,
Molokai, Lania, Maui, and Hawaii.
Hawaii
Oahu is home to most of Hawaii’s
population and the capital: Honolulu.
Hawaii became the 50th state in 1959,
but was first settled by Polynesians
around 1,500 years ago.
King Kamehameha united all of the
Hawaiian islands in 1810, after many years
of conflict. There are four commissioned
statues of the king: three in Hawaii, and one
in Washington, D.C. Every Kamehameha
Day (June 11th), all four statues are
ceremoniously draped with flower lei to
celebrate the man known as Hawaii’s
greatest king.
The Merrie Monarch Festival, featured
in Pacific Heartbeat’s “Hula, Language of the
Heart,” began in 1963 as a way to perpetuate,
preserve, and promote the art of hula and
the culture of Hawaii. It is now known as the
world’s premier hula competition. Through
this festival, thousands of people around the
world have learned about the history and
culture of Hawaii and this uniquely
Hawaiian dance.

When East Meets West
The month of May was designated as AsianPacific Heritage Month to commemorate two historical
events: the immigration of the first Japanese to the
United States on May 7, 1843, and the completion of
the transcontinental railroad on May 10, 1869 (Chinese
immigrants made up the majority of the workers who laid
the tracks). In addition to Pacific Heartbeat (see cover
story), WYCC PBS Chicago is celebrating all month long.

One-Minute Biography
with
Saul David
Saul David is what you might call a “war buff.” He has written ten nonfiction books and two historical fiction books, all
about different aspects of war and the military. Born in Monmouth, England, in 1966, he began reading military history books
at the age of 10, and knew that he wanted to be a writer by the time he was a teenager. When he was 25, he began writing his
first book.
David spent his college years learning about military history. He earned an M.A. in History from the University of
Edinburgh and a Ph.D. in History from the University of Glasgow, and is now a professor of military history at the University of
Buckingham, where he is also the Program Director for their M.Phil. in Military History.
In addition to being an author and professor, David has appeared on over two dozen television programs and over a
dozen radio programs. He has also led two history tours to India and one on The World ship, traveling between Japan and
South Korea. Other lecture venues have included the National Army Museum and the Imperial War Museum.
To help commemorate Memorial Day (May 27), David brings his expertise to WYCC PBS Chicago in the three-part series
How to Go to War (airing Sundays at 5 p.m. starting May 12, with encore episodes Mondays at 9 p.m.), where he leads
viewers beyond the battlefield and into the logistics of preparing for war. The series first aired in his native England in 2012
under the title “Bullets, Boots and Bandages: How Wars are Really Won.”
