Kamae charms viewers with his vision of Hawai‘i as a place where all living things are conscious, where every living creature has a soul.

—Lee Quarnastrom, San Jose Mercury News

This environmental documentary speaks of the widespread concern for rainforest preservation, while reminding us of traditional Hawaiian values. Interviews, chants, and original songs and dances give voice to an older form of ecological wisdom summed up in the phrase mälama ‘aina, take care of the land. Its world premiere screening opened the 1991 Hawai‘i International Film Festival.

The SONS OF HAWAII is the only documentary available on DVD. Other documentaries in the Series will be available in the near future. Your contribution to The Hawaiian Legacy Foundation can help make that happen. Please refer to Contribution page.
