LUTHER KAHEKILI MAKEKAU
A One Kine Hawaiian Man

 

This award-winning, one-hour documentary pays tribute to the untamed spirit of a colorful and controversial Hawaiian man. Known throughout these islands and descended from a line of warrior chiefs, Luther Makekau was part philosopher and outlaw, a chanter and a singer, a fighter and a lover, a cattle rustler, a rebel, and a poet.

 

Born in Maui in 1890, during the reign of King Kalākaua, he lived nearly a hundred years, shaped by a century of turbulent cultural change. 

 

"Luther Kahekili Makekau was colorful, controversial, and cantankerous... Kamae's goal was not to canonize him but to share his spirit..."

Wayne Harada, Honolulu Advertiser
