Join Hawai’i Public Libraries and Hawaiʻi Council for the Humanities for a thought provoking film and conversation. The featured short film for December is “Standing Above the Clouds”. When the world’s largest telescope is set to be built on their sacred mountain, Mauna Kea, three Native Hawaiian families dedicate their lives to defending it. Through the lens of mothers and daughters, Standing Above the Clouds explores intergenerational healing and the social and emotional labor of retaining ancient ceremonies while putting your body on the line to protect a sacred mountain.
