[Short film]: Pili Ka Moʻo
Justyn Ah Chong with Malia Akutagawa (#KanakaMaoli)
"The #Fukumitsu ʻOhana (family) of #Hakipuu are #NativeHawaiian #TaroFarmers and keepers of this generational practice. While much of #Oahu has become urbanized, Hakipuʻu remains a kīpuka (oasis) of traditional knowledge where great chiefs once resided and their bones still remain. The Fukumitsus are tossed into a world of complex real estate and judicial proceedings when nearby Kualoa Ranch, a large settler-owned corporation, destroys their familial burials to make way for continued development plans."
