SATURDAY, October 1st - On 'Olelo this Saturday at 8 PM
"Ancient Mana`o For A Pono Future - A Visit With Alex Pua`a - Revisited."
One of our most popular shows ever, "Ancient Mana`o For A Pono Future - A Visit With Alex Pua`a," has received more feedback from our viewers than practically any other segment.
When we taped Alex, we ended up with far more footage than we could use. So we have re-edited a new version to include never before seen footage.
Both a spiritual and cultural practitioner, Alex shares unique and moving spiritual and cultural values that underpin the Hawaiian culture.
Like the original one, this new segment has a timeless feel to it as knowledge that is beyond time is revealed.
"Voices of Truth" interviews those creating a better future for Hawai`i to discover what made them go from armchair observers to active participants in the hopes of inspiring viewers to do the same.
