Join us for a special viewing of “Goodbye Paradise” (1991).
Written/directed by Dennis Christianson & Tim Savage and starring KHON News anchor Joe Moore and beloved film star Pat Morita, this film depicts the last night of a beloved Oahu diner and the faithful customers who work and meet there. Long out of print and feared to be “lost”, it was noted as Hawaii’s first independently made feature film and is overdue for rediscovery.
101 minutes/ In Color/ Rated PG for Profanity and Partial Nudity
Sponsored by Hawaii Film Critics Society & Maui Friends of the Library
