I had the privilege of filming the two-day Puunene Reunion in 2007.
It was such a joy to record the precious memories of the people of Puunene!

Every reunion attendee received a copy of the video, and it aired on AKAKU Public Television for a couple of years.
Now that HC&S has closed, I have decided to share the video publicly on YouTube. Feel free to share (Creative Commons - Attribution) with those you know will appreciate learning about and remembering the beautiful people and culture of Puunene.
