This is wonderful...thank you!!
 
Thanks for posting, I didn't expect this video up so soon after airing it yesterday. We just finished watching it. Really enjoyed it.
 
I saw an earlier cut of this film at the Asian American Film Festival in San Francisco last year. I haven't seen the finished film, but I'm hoping PBS (or Jake's website) offers it on DVD.

It's available as a pre-order from PBS as DVD, also as pre-order from Amazon... probably other places too. :)

Thanks for the link Matimateo! I especially liked some of the older footage of Jake, and seeing a little of his family too.
 
You can go to PBS.org to see the video.

Thank you for posting. I watched it early this morning. Very well done. I was struck by how fitting it is for Mother's Day.
 
Aloha Matimeo,
Mahalo Plentee.. woo hoo :) loved it...more of his personal side which I liked very much...he is truely a wonderful guy and talented uker....wow
 
I thought the doc. was very well done also. A nice blend of the past, present and putting fame, etc. in perspective (re: footage of tsunami in Japan, etc.). I've seen Jake a couple of times out here on the east coast, US and he is the reason I started playing ukulele. He and his people come across as very nice folks...spreading the aloha spirit. I've never met him personally although he usually does a meet and greet after a show. I've spoken with his wife who is very nice. The first show, there was a "line" to meet him, autographs, etc. I didn't have time to wait around. NOW, the lines are VERY long! Oh well. I hope he continues to do well and continues to remember where he came from. From what I observe.....CLASS ACT.
