The premier of Life in these Islands received an overwhelming positive response and there are plans underway to re-air the show. We are also in discussion about the release of a DVD and other initiatives that would help to further this vital conversation. As this image from the program shows…we are all connected, when the circle is broken everyone is affected. People feel the same everywhere, what can we do? It is our hope that you will get involved and help to move Hawaii into the future. Please join as a member of the website so that you will receive messages when we post so that we can keep the conversation going. You can then pass these messages along to others that you know. The people are the most vital part of this movement.
Here are some excerpts of responses we received:
Was so glad that a friend told me to DVR the show. We stayed up late after putting both of our boys down and was worth every minute of sleep lost…ten fold. My son attends Kanu O Ka Aina here on the big Island and every section of the show resonated with me and helped to stoke the fire of what we are cultivating in our children.
Mahalo, for taking the time, effort, and fiscal responsibility, to the share the words, feelings and opportunities for actions that so many are ready to hear all packaged in a format ready for the masses.
When will it air again? I would love to make sure that everyone I know sees this and passes it along to someone else. GREAT JOB!!

Thank you SOOOOOO much for your hard work on this project, guys. It was deeply moving and motivating and, once again, I am realizing what an unreal treasure it is to call this place “home.” Shoots, even the commercials were fun! What an uplifting and challenging 1.5 hours. Mahalo NUI LOA for all you’ve done. Can’t wait to see what is next.

Just saw the hour and half presentation of Life In These Islands and was taken away by it. I am 72 years old and I feel as motivated as the younger generation that will lead us into the future. Now is the time, let’s roll. Imua Lanakila.
I was so impressed with the comments of those who spoke to the meaning of Aloha that I want to share it with my friends and family on the mainland so they can better understand the meaning of being part of this wonderful culture, place and respect for the aina and each other. Much mahalo from a mainlander that wishes to embrace the true spirit of Aloha and spread the this most soft, spiritual and important message. Mahalo for the effort of all in the making of this program.

It’s a Grassroots Movement
Hawai’i is changing, the question is what type of change do we want? All around us there is a movement, a grass roots uprising to do something positive to change Hawai’i. We want to invite you to the future of Hawai’i, the one we build together. Join the website, help us further the conversation that has already begun. If Hawai’i is going to change for the better it is going to take changing our way of life, educating our children about what’s important, and following through on our commitments to each other and this place.
On this site you will find links to organizations and people that are already making a difference. Get involved and do something. In the future we will launch an extended site that will include videos and other resources so that we can share what is happening with all of you. Help us by becomeing a part of the ohana that will care for this place.
This is about living pono, with aloha and fulfilling our kuleana. Take the time to appreciate each other and this place, your family and think about your legacy. This involves every part of our lives, let’s make sure we don’t lose what is special about Hawai’i.
Program to Premier Earthday April 22nd KGMB 9
Life in these Islands will premier Earthday April 22nd at 6:30 pm on KGMB 9 in Honolulu and will be streamed live over the internet. This unique 90 minute presentation will follow the 6 o’clock news and reinforces KGMB’s commitment to Hawai’i and our future. The program is hosted by actor Jason Scott Lee and Skylark Rossetti. The station has been a tremendous partner in getting the program on the air and we especially want to thank station manager Rick Blangiardi for his aloha and commitment to this project. This is a profound piece of television and we invite you to tune in or watch it streamed live on the internet. Please email your friends and family as we journey together into the future.
The community has really rallied around the show as a number of people have been able to preview some of the segments. This is an exciting time for our islands as we begin a conversation about where we are at today and where we want to go in the future. The show captures the heartbeat of our islands and includes stories about encouraging things happening, music from some of our most loved entertainers and insights into who we are, where we come from and where we hope to go.
