Film begins at 6:30 PM.\n\nThis is a rare opportunity to expe rience the film in community\, on a big screen and share a conversation wi th the film directors.\nKupuna 'Āina: Hawaiʻi\, The Land Remembers\nBefo re there were maps\, there were ancestors. Before there was history\, ther e was a primordial longing—a collective breath blowing across the water\ , calling Hawaii from beneath the sea\, whispering: I love this place. I w ant to live here.\n\nThat longing has outlasted empire. It has survived er asure. It has endured a century of quiet war waged through the suppression of language\, the banning of hula\, and the theft of land.\n\nThis is not Hawaii from the postcards. Kupuna 'Āina does not try to explain Hawaii\; it listens to its heartbeat. Through the voices of kupuna (elders)\, mode rn warriors\, cultural practitioners\, and men finding healing with ʻāin a\, the film honors a profound remembering of ancestral ways. It is a jour ney of reclaiming ancient rhythms\, revitalizing language\, and embracing the sacred duty—the kuleana—to secure a living future for generations to come. Here\, historical pain is alchemized into power. Not despite the wound. Through it.\nEveryone is welcome.\nComplimentary tickets are availa ble to ensure no one is turned away for lack of funds. Click here to secur e your complimentary ticket.\n\nTicket donations support both RCNV and SAN D’s vital work\, and 50% of proceeds after film production costs directl y fund Indigenous-led initiatives in the featured communities.\nContent Ad visory &\; Our Commitment to Care:\nThe films in this series honor the profound resilience of Indigenous cultures while addressing the brutal leg acies of colonization.
