A documentary short filmed entirely on the islands of Maui and Moloka’i during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. In Hawaiian culture, each person has the kuleana (responsibility) to malama (care for) ʻāina (land). As Covid-19 brought Maui County’s tourism industry to a halt more than 70 residents experienced a unique opportunity to engage in nature-based restoration projects that provided paychecks and job skills training — and reinvigorated deep and meaningful connections.
