Synopsis:

This film traces the extraordinary life of “Papa” Tom Davis, a major figure from the Cook Islands. A traditional navigator, the first Pacific scientist to work with NASA, and a doctor devoted to island communities, he pushed the boundaries of both the seas and the stars. The documentary shows how his brilliance and dedication saved lives and inspired generations of Pasifika youth.
