-The Mele man brought this film to us on Monday. Great history about the power and sacredness of Lahaina. Talk story about sugar cane plantations, camp living and making a living from working with sugar cane. Speaks of Eddie's connections to Lahaina, and speaks of the ali`i connections to Lahaina, as well as archeological excavation now going on at the ball diamonds where used to be a royal compound. A very sad and wisful look back at how things used to be -- how families shared, how nationality meant nothing - it was all one big `ohana. How you would share extra food with the neighbors. How you would watch out for each others children. How you would walk anywhere you needed to go. Not much music in this film -- only as back ground, but you will easily recognize the singing and 12-string guitar of Mike Ka`awa and the steel guitar of Paul Kim.
This is an interesting film -- not one of Eddie & Myra's best, but worthwhile, none the less. Important for anyone serious about history of the islands. |
