LUTHER KAHEKILI MAKEKAU: A One Kine Hawaiian Man (1997)

HSV #1050 - 60 Minutes - Color
Hawai‘i International Film Festival Audience Award Winner

...Deals with one of Hawai‘i’s real characters ... a fascinating story ...

—Dave Donnelly, Honolulu Star-Bulletin

This award winning one-hour documentary pays tribute to the untamed spirit of a colorful and controversial Hawaiian man. Known throughout the islands, Luther Makekau was part philosopher and part outlaw, a chanter and a singer, a fighter and a lover, a cattle rustler, a rebel and a poet. Born on Maui in 1890, during the reign of King Kalakaua, he lived nearly a hundred years, shaped by a century of turbulent cultural change.

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.
