Living Ancestors

Directors: Dave Mossop & Josh Thome

ĀINA (pronounced “eye-nah”) means “that which feeds us” in the Hawaiian language. Some of the world’s largest chemical companies use the island of Kaua`i as an open-air testing ground for pesticides on genetically modified crops. The film highlights a way to address some of the most pressing environmental and health crises facing the island of Kauai – and of island Earth. As ĀINA vividly illustrates, such is the power of sustainable agriculture. The focus is on solutions, the beauty of Kauaʻi and the wisdom of Hawaiian culture. Grand Jury Prize at the Oregon Film Awards.
