- Description
- Protecting Kahoʻolawe: 50 Years of Aloha ʻĀina chronicles the island’s painful history, the founding of the Protect Kahoʻolawe ʻOhana, and decades of restoration work dedicated to helping the land heal and thrive.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the first landing by the 'Kahoʻolawe Nine', whose courageous actions drew national attention and sparked a movement that ultimately helped end the U.S. military’s bombing of the island.
Directors Mark Carpenter and Corbin Gregory traveled to Kahoʻolawe to witness firsthand the ʻohana’s mission in action and their enduring commitment to aloha ʻāina.
Through personal stories and historical reflection, the documentary honors the sacrifices made to protect Kahoʻolawe and highlights the PKO’s unwavering dedication across generations.
