On June 27 2014, Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano erupted and lava began flowing directly toward the center of Pahoa, a small seaside town on the big island of Hawai’i. Hard to predict and impossible to stop, the flow threatened to cut off the town’s main access road, which would leave the residents of this already isolated community to rely solely on one another. This 55 minute documentary explores an inner community perspective of the lava flow, following residents as they ask and answer important questions about what it really means to live in such an unpredictable paradise. In addition to street interviews and news coverage, Aloha From Lavaland follows a local Hawaiian kumu (healer), a sustainability expert and the leader of a sovereign Hawaiian community over a period of seven months as they attempt to prepare for the unpreparable.
