Back to the Roots (DV25)

Aloha viewers! This is a reload of my Back to the Roots documentary. The previous version is having technical issues. While I am working on that, please view this version instead. It is of higher technical quality than the version that I have had on YouTube for several years; otherwise it is exactly the same video. Mahalo for your understanding! Back to the Roots features Kalo (taro) production on each of the major islands of Hawai'i circa 1994. Meet the amazing people who love and continue to cultivate taro on lo'i that in some cases has been in the family for generations and centuries! Young, old, and family growers on Maui, Moloka'i, Hawai'i, O'ahu, and Kaua'i islands. Includes history/culture of kalo, Issues related to land and water, uses of kalo, and prospects for the future. Produced in 1995; Victoria Keith director, VK and Dana Naone Hall, co-producers. Copyright VKP 1995.
