This event is part of Honouliuli National Historic Site's 10th Anniversary Celebration. Honouliuli National Historic Site is the location of Hawaii's largest and longest-run WWII incarceration site that held 4,000 POWs from Japan, Okinawa, Korea, Italy, and the Philippines, and 400 American citizens, mostly of Japanese descent.

Local Hawaiʻi resident and Director Ryan Kawamoto has created multiple documentaries about internment and incarceration in Hawaiʻi with his production company Kinetic Productions. "Untold Story" originally aired on PBS Hawaiʻi to critical acclaim. Thanks to Pacific Historic Parks, the community will be able to watch the one hour film for free at the Doris Duke Theater at the Honolulu Museum of Art. This special film screening will be followed by a discussion of Honouliuli and Hawaii's internment experience with panel members, including Ryan Kawamoto himself, Carole Hayashino, the former President/Executive Director of the Japanese Cultural Center of Hawai‘i, and Sandi Chang, whose grandfather was held at Honouliuli Internment Camp.

The Untold Story: Internment of Japanese Americans In Hawai‘i, produced by the Japanese Cultural Center of Hawai‘i, written/directed by Ryan Kawamoto, is the first full-length documentary to chronicle the internment experience of Japanese Americans in Hawai‘i.

Acknowledgments:
The film was made possible through a lead grant from the Japanese American Confinement Sites Grant Program National Park Service and matching funds provided by the Japanese Cultural Center of Hawai‘i, Island Insurance Foundation, The Wallace Alexander Gerbode Foundation, and the Japanese American Citizens League - Honolulu Chapter.

Presented by ProArts Playhouse
“From the Sea to the Summit – Maui Under the Microscope” a presentation by Dr. Gary Greenberg followed by the film ”The Quietest Place on Earth” by Dr. Tom Vendetti.

Join Dr. Gary Greenberg for “From the Sea to the Summit,” a stunning visual journey through the hidden microscopic world of Maui. From grains of sand, each a tiny record of Hawaii’s geological and biological history, to the intricate beauty of native flowers like the hibiscus and ʻōhiʻa lehua, this presentation reveals nature’s unseen wonders. Travel from the ocean’s edge to the summit of Haleakalā Crater — and even to the sands of the Moon — in a remarkable story of science, beauty, and Hawaiian heritage.

About “The Quietest Place on Earth”:
On the island of Maui, Haleakala rises 10,000 feet – nearly two miles – into the sky. The massive crater carries the unique distinction of being “the quietest place on Earth.” The exquisite stillness of its stark volcanic landscape inspires a variety of experiences ranging from spiritual to philosophical.
A film by Emmy Award filmmaker Dr. Tom Vendetti.
