With forecasts calling for unprecedented surf, some of the greatest surfers in the world descended on the island to be in the water, despite a "Code Red" called by the Tahitian Coast Guard, which sought to keep everyone on shore. See the historic day through the eyes of two surfers -- the young gun Laurie Towner and the veteran Dylan Longbottom -- as they catch some of the biggest, most dangerous surf ever recorded, much of it captured with the super slow motion Phantom Camera for never-before-seen imagery
- When the name Hikueru is mentioned, all the other surrounding islands shudder with fear. Because in the story, when someone from Hikueru says anything it comes true. In Hikueru speech is sacred.

- As elsewhere in Polynesia where there is not much for young people, they spend a lot of time on the side of the road. But they drink less there than elsewhere and don't smoke at all. In Tahiti, Vaininiore has the reputation of being a red-light district. However, while walking there, we will meet young people full of joie de vivre, smiling, a little rowdy... They spend their days playing football on the field, and at five o'clock every evening they have training with Hentz Tinomoe, the neighborhood colossus, three times Polynesian Thai boxing champion in the super-heavyweight category. His club, Team Arupa, is one of those fairly tight sub-groups: to be admitted you must first run to the dike, then put on gloves and exchange blows. We are far from the ideological and cultural struggles of certain other more socially advantaged groups, and from the smoky boredom, from the tension perceptible in other neighborhoods: here we are in a daily practice, in a discipline in every sense of the word . While meeting Hentz Tinomoe I quickly met his enemy brother Roland Tiaipoi. He also takes care of the young people in his neighborhood of Tipaerui, he also channels them. It's long-term work, as Roland Darrouzes, president of the Tahitian Federation of Thai Boxing and associated disciplines, says. Roland and Hentz are not alone, Polynesia has around fifteen clubs, but they are the biggest. Unknown to the general public, they chose pragmatism.
- What is the daily life of Turkish Sultan Kosen, the tallest man in the world, like in Bruno Loyale's Magic Circus of Samoa, for a month on the Apogoti site in New Caledonia? Some accuse the circus of exploiting it, what is it really? Sultan has been making a living performing in the Pacific Islands for years.
- In the eulogy she wrote to her, Amelie tells her sister's story, from her rebirth as a woman to the assault that will lead to her death.
- The first time Patu joined a tattoo shop was in 2004 with Tavae Norbert. Wanting to deepen his knowledge of Polynesian history and culture, which he did not know at all, he then joined the Tahiti Art Craft Center. At the Center Patu is lucky to have Philippe Aukara as a sculpture teacher. This new guide teaches him a lot about composition and patterns. The legends, the traditional songs, the design of the nasal flutes, the canoes, the instruments, the percussion. The language too. Today Patu has his own salon and makes a living from tattooing. He dances and fully lives what he loves to do. When you love what you do, you can only be smiling and feel good about yourself... For the young people who know him in his neighborhood and who see him evolve today, he is a very good example.
- Almost all young people in Vaininiore are into sports. Some in the dugout, others in football, volleyball, but most are in boxing. Thai boxing. Behind the Eastern Bridge fire station in Papeete, the Vaininiore district has the reputation of being a red-light district. This is where a hard core of around twenty fighters trains in the evening, but there are new ones arriving all the time... Not all of them last long... Team Arupa is Hentz Tinomoe. He is a good coach, patient, a little tough when it comes to training... There is a good atmosphere, good understanding, a good spirit of cohesion at Vaininiore, VNR for the young people... A united team. Before each international competition, the Team Arupa and Tini Thai Boxing clubs come together for joint preparation. In this film, they are preparing a trip to New Zealand.
- The current news for Tahiti and her islands in Tahitian.
- Portrait of Sanson, a young Tahitian artist passionate about roosters. Cockfighting was introduced to Polynesia by early Chinese immigrants. It took place everywhere, on all the islands. Wherever there was a Chinese trader he organized a cockfight, to the extent that he had fighting cocks. But this is not a particularly Chinese cultural trait. It doesn't come from China. Cockfighting is extremely old in the Mediterranean and throughout southern Asia, and in particular the Philippines where it was very organized.
