Hawaiian filmmaker, Justyn Ah Chong, focuses his work on telling the stories of his people. A few months ago, Justyn won a regional Emmy for a short film, Pili Ka Moʻo.  The movie follows a native Hawaiian family as they fight to protect the land where their ancestors are buried. 

Pili Ka Moʻo is a part of Reciprocity Project, a series of original short films made by Indigenous directors on their homelands.
