Mauna Kea: Temple Under Siege (2005)
Hoewel de bergvulkaan Mauna Kea zo'n 4000 jaar geleden voor het laatst uitbarstte, is hij nog steeds heet en het middelpunt van een brandende controverse over de vraag of de top moet worden gebruikt voor astronomische observatoria of bewaard moet blijven als een cultureel landschap dat heilig is voor het Hawaiiaanse volk. Vijf jaar lang legde het documentaireproductieteam Nā Maka o ka 'Āina ('de ogen van het land') op video de seizoensstemmingen vast van de unieke 4.000 meter hoge top van Mauna Kea, de rijk gevarieerde ecosystemen die zich uitstrekken van zeeniveau tot de alpiene zone, de legendes en verhalen die de geologische en culturele geschiedenis van de berg onthullen, en de politieke turbulentie rond de pogingen om de belangrijkste tempel op de eilanden te beschermen: de berg zelf.
