​THE HAWAIIAN LEGACY FOUNDATION

LISTEN TO THE FOREST

 

Listen to the Forest is an environmental documentary about the widespread concern for rainforest preservation. It is about the Hawaiian Islands and a Hawaiian way of feeling. It is a film for all ages, emphasizing the powerful connection between a unique natural history and Hawaiʻi's rich cultural life.

 

Combining interviews, traditional chants, and original songs and dances, this film gives voice to an older form of ecological wisdom summed up in the phrase mālama ʻāina - to take care of the earth - which is both our physical home and a source of spiritual nourishment.

 

"Kamae charms viewers with his vision of Hawaii as a place where all living things are conscious, where every living creature has a soul."

Lee Quarnastrom, San Jose Mercury News
