NYC PREMIERE Refusing to give up their rights over their sacred land, Native Hawaiian mothers and daughters band together to stop the construction of a massive telescope on Mauna Kea. What emerges is a study of resilience and the ways wisdom and healing are passed from one generation to another. Underlying their spirited resistance is the women’s ever-present love for their land, their legacies, and each other. - Bedatri D. Choudhury

The first screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Jalena Keane-Lee.
