Native Hawaiian HPD officer William “Willy Boy” Kupihea and his partner Leonard Akina are sent in to evict the Native Hawaiian residents of a settlement deemed “illegal” by the State of Hawaiʻi, but when Kupihea discovers a little girl hiding in an abandoned truck at the last dwelling is his cousinʻs daughter, he has to choose between what is legally right vs. what is culturally pono. As Native Hawaiian land struggles continue to escalate in Hawaiʻi and in Indigenous communities worldwide, E Mālama Pono, Willy Boy hopes to create a dialogue to question how the current reality might be shifted to create a more positive change for Native Hawaiians and other Indigenous communities. Parental guidance suggested:  profanity and brief violence. Courtesy of filmmaker Scott W. Kekama Amona
