'Growing Up Local" Film to premiere in Hawaii, sharing ohana family story

[@kanakamokunui1039]

Just be real and respect Hawaiian culture,people,land and history AND EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING should be good! BUT WHEN YOU MOVE HERE WITH A KAREN BAD HEART AND NO ALOHA..Hawaiians going push You out!

[@Minimumholloway]

Working 3 jobs, getting kicked off land and should be included

[@thaimassage23]

That film is already in the making for next year.

[@Minimumholloway]

@@thaimassage23 Id gladly take a role if offered, i know exactly how to act these things, because ive lived it, now im back and its more of a circus then when i left.

[@MediCali951]

I’m in Oahu now and I saw the police memorial for the cops that were killed by diamondhead. The man was priced out of paradise after his family had been there for generations. It’s a bad situation all around

[@mauricegoz]

yes, i want more films about the REAL struggles in Hawai'i, current and historic. any recommendations?

[@jeroengo1896]

Looks like an interesting film. Will it eventually be available for an audience outside of Hawaii? Where can the rest of us who are not on Oahu be able to view this? I’d really like to see this. Having left my sugar town over 30 years ago and I’d like to compare it to my own “growing up local” experience.

[@StephenSternforPresident]

Well maybe like a month after it's released maybe like September you can check a website that pirates movies

[@jfranklin9549]

Considering that more Hawaiians live on the mainland now…. And at the very least, should be shown in Las Vegas.

[@DDB93]

It’s on Amazon Prime now

[@jeroengo1896]

@@DDB93 I thoroughly enjoyed it and could so relate to the feeling of having to leave the rock. I reacted the same way about being frustrated with my future prospects and took the plunge at 18 to go mainland. My very own family reacted that way said “why you going there? You belong here not there and this is your home! You watch mark my words you not going last you will be back” it’s been over 32+ years, only go back to visit but the deep yearning for home never leaves even though while there you feel like you betrayed your ancestors. Over all excellent movie, great actors and portrayal of “growing up local” now that I’ve been gone occasionally meet others “who grew up in Hawaii” and have discovered there are 2 types the high makamaka and do anything they can to eradicate their “ingrained local ways” and the ones like me local and not ashamed of my humble beginnings.

[@Minimumholloway]

“Growing up local in Vegas”, what it should be called.

[@StephenSternforPresident]

This is going to be great

Asian and polynesian/native hawaiian🤙🏝️ No haole 👎👎👎👎👊

[@darrellpasion8925]

What about portuguese people their local with long ties to hawaii. Their not Asian or Polynesian.

[@efrans2627]

@@darrellpasion8925 portuguese are not native hawaiian, they are white 👎

[@jeroengo1896]

Nah, not all haoles are bad. I would just take each individual haole based on their behaviors and decide if they are 👎🏼. The plantation ancestors worked out their differences and came together to form local communities that included everybody for the benefit of everybody. But always have the high makamaka ones. Treat other as you would like to be treated goes a long way. Always have pride in who you are and keep it classy. That’s how you put those in their place. Mahalo 🤙🏼

What is local? The Royal Hawaiians begged us to come here because we worked the land better.

Are Hakka considered Chinese in China? We were all recruited to work the land. By the Official Hawaiian Government and then the government screwed us over.

Another lame local production, most likely

Not at all it was quite good.

@@jeroengo1896 Thanks, I'll check it out.

what were the other lame local productions? This movie was actually good.

Nah

[@truthseek3017]

Propaganda film that spreads hate.

[@DDB93]

🤡🤡🤡🤡

[@jeroengo1896]

Hate about what? There wasn’t any hate, there was one line where they said “ no haoles” as they got into the elevator. Why is that spreading hate? That was a depiction of a possible reality experience. That small clip was in no way propaganda or an encouragement of spreading hate.
