Two films highlighting Puuhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park will be screened June 17 in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
Puuhonua o Honaunau is where ancient Hawaiian lawbreakers and defeated warriors once found sanctuary; today the park provides a sanctuary for Hawaiian culture. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park invites everyone to watch two films that highlight the park: John Grabowska’s 16-minute film “Puuhonua o Honaunau: Place of Refuge” and Brad Watanabe’s 12-minute documentary “HiStory: Hawaii Island’s National Parks.”
The films will be shown at 7 p.m. at the Kilauea Visitor Center Auditorium. HVNP is showing sister park movies for free to raise awareness of the other national parks in Hawaii and the Pacific Islands during its centennial year.
