Once the home of Hawaiian royalty, the first capital of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi and a whaling port, Lāhainā's past century saw the growth of sugar and pineapple plantations and tourism. Now, the end of the plantation era and an increasing reliance on tourism brings new challenges. Premiered in 2007, this documentary by Eddie & Myrna Kamae captures the spirit of Lāhainā's multi-ethnic community, seeking to build a future while honoring their colorful past.
