Kāmau by Alani Apio

Exploring the concepts of aloha and kuleana (responsibility), Kāmau follows three cousins who were raised in their family's beach-side home and taught that they must care for the land to ensure the survival of their ʻohana. When their ancestral homestead is sold to build a hotel, the cousins’ perspectives on kuleana put them at odds. Michael will not abandon his responsibility to the ʻāina, and refuses to leave. Left to provide for the family alone, Alika must choose between joining Michael’s battle against the resort -- at the expense of his niece, Stevie, and her mother, Lisa -- or continuing to work for the very corporation that has displaced them.
