Li‘a: The Legacy of a Hawaiian Man is an award-winning documentary that celebrates the music and spirit of revered Big Island performer and composer, Sam Liʻa Kalainaina (1881-1975). It is also about a place, Waipi‘o Valley, and a life shaped and nourished by that place. This 74-minute film is suitable for ages 7 and up.
