A few nights ago I went up to Turtle Bay to see the movie,
"Na Paniolo O Hawaii".
I had heard about this movie and seen the directors, Edgy Lee, other movie,
"Waikiki, In The Wake of Dreams" and loved her work.
This movie is a history of the Hawaiian Paniolos (cowboys).
The film was made in 2006 and there are only 3 of the original men that were the storytellers
during the movie are still alive.
We have a friend from church, George A'i, Sr. that is a member of the
Paniolo Hall of Fame. This was also his story.
Edgy Lee stayed after the movie and answered questions.
Her movies show parts of Hawaii that are disappearing.
Na Paniolos O Hawaii, true treasurers.
