‘Movies at the Old Prison’ to feature ‘Waves of Change’
LAHAINA — “Waves of Change,” a poignant documentary by musician and film maker, Eddie Kamae and his wife Myrna Kamae, will be screened at this month’s “Movies at the Old Prison.”
This free event will be held on Saturday, April 29, at 7 p.m. outdoors at the Old Lahaina Prison on the corner of Prison and Wainee streets.
The film describes Lahaina as a place rich in historical and cultural traditions. Once the home of Hawaiian royalty, the first capital of the Kingdom of Hawaii and a bustling port for whaling ships, Lahaina also saw the rise and fall of Pioneer Mill and the introduction of tourism.
Hawaiian music legend and filmmaker Eddie Kamae leads us through the many changes Lahaina has undergone over the past 200 years and looks at what Lahaina is today.
This documentary captures the spirt of Lahaina’s multi-ethnic community, seeking to build a future while honoring its colorful past.
Eddie dedicated this film to Shigesh and Sue Wakida, whose love for the children of Lahaina lives on.
Movie seating is on the lawn of the Old Lahaina Prison. Blankets, mats and low-back beach chairs are welcome. Free parking is available at the county parking lot located on the corner of Prison and Front streets. There is no parking at the Old Lahaina Prison.
“Movies at the Old Prison” is a community program of Lahaina Restoration Foundation (LRF) held on the last Saturday of every month.
Support for this month’s event is provided by the Hawaiian Legacy Foundation, LRF members and the Rotary Club of Lahaina Sunrise.
