While Oahu’s North Shore is world famous for its surfing, it takes just a quick hop and skip across Kamehameha Highway to get you from iconic Sunset Beach to one of the island’s prime skateboarding playgrounds.

To close out the show, we venture to Vietnam, where we meet the river children of Long Xuyen, who share their hopes, fears and dreams in Chi Mai‘s poignant short film “Down the Stream”.
