This is a video I produced over the last couple months. It started with a polo match at Ft. Shafter where I heard that they were dedicating the match to Lt. Nainoa Hoe. I inquired about this soldier and heard about his story along with his father's story, Allen Hoe. I then talked to Mr. Hoe about interviewing with me and he agreed. After an extremely emotional hour and a half interview I had captured an extremely important and raw story. The hardest part about this story was fitting that hour and a half into four minutes. I sat there staring as Mr. Hoe talking about his story, then talking about the many anecdotes about his son; including the last time he saw his son and the random things throughout his day that remind him of his son. Throughout the interview I had to remember to breath and try not to tear up. Maybe one day I'll be able to explore more of this interview but for now this story stands on its own.
