This is a true story of real Hawaii in 1893 when the Queen and Kingdom of Hawaii was overthrown by businessmen. A beautiful story told in the wife's poetry! A family on the run from a Goverment quarantine during a Leprosy pandemic.
I think this is the first film to ever be shot in the whole native Hawaiian language "Olelo Hawaii". It's beautiful.
What I love about this film is that it shows the love, sacrifice, and fight of a family to not be separated by this disease, while still trying to not hate its oppressor. A lot of life lessons to take from this beautiful bio-pic.
Mahalo to all the film makers for telling a Hawaiian story that isn't Hollywoods version of Hawaii.
