(2007, 57 min.)

The 19th century was a time of devastating change for the Hawaiian people. This documentary looks at the visionary efforts made by five members of the ali'i, Hawaiian royalty, to provide for the education of the children, health care, and comfort for the elderly. The charitable institutions they created have endured and are thriving and vital institutions today.
