Hawaiian: The Legend of Eddie Aikau
I think the filmmakers specifically got the two main parts into the title, Hawaii and Eddie, by doing this they already tell you what the movie is about, it's about Eddie and his ways in the Hawaiian culture. The angle of the film seemed to me about more of Hawaii, but because it is ESPN making it, there has to be some sports aspect in it, it does a really good job of combining surfing with the deep spiritual connection between the natives and the ocean. If another company had made this documentary I think it would be more about Hawaii than Eddie, it would be about the traditions of Hawaiians and of course they would put somethings about Eddie in their, but that would not be the main focus.
Roosevelt, Strong, and many other imperialists had a large impact on naval strategies and ideals. They thought of new ways to fight and expand territory and control. The oceans are the high ground of the world, if you control the oceans, you control the world. The topic/ focus would be naval strategies and how they evolved around the Spanish-American War. The angle would be to show the power of sea-power and argue that it is very important to an imperialistic nation.
