shareWhen a Native Hawaiian police officer is sent to evict a group of unhoused and protesting Native Hawaiians, he has to choose between supporting his family, upholding the law, and “pono,” doing what is morally right. Shot in stunning black and white and in ‘Ōlelo Hawai’i, a language almost stomped out a few generations ago, this is a true celebration of Kānaka Maoli film.
