Fire on the Water

Discovered by the Polynesians centuries ago, Hawaii has seen dramatic changes since its exploration by the Europeans. This documentary shows how the islands were formed and are still being formed to this day, plus their abundant wildlife.

Documentary is about the life and work of American screenwriter Waldo Salt who won two Academy Awards and was put on the Hollywood blacklist in the 1950s. The story is told through interviews with collaborators and friends such as Dustin Hoffman, Robert Redford, Jon Voight, John Schlesinger and with clips from Salt's films, chiefly Midnight Cowboy.
