WATERS OF PU‘ULOA

"Waters of Puʻuloa” is a short documentary tracing the transformation of waterways of Puʻuloa, the area known now as Pearl Harbor on Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi, from a vibrant hub of abundance to a polluted industrial zone. Through voices of Hawaiian farmers, fishermen, and activists, the film reveals the impacts of militarization and environmental degradation on this historic land and its waters. Highlighting the revival of Native Hawaiian practices and the ongoing struggle for restoration, the documentary envisions a future where the land and waters of Puʻuloa are once again fertile and thriving.
