Starting Nov. 1, ʻŌlelo Community Media will air an ʻUluʻulu Archive-produced television series featuring moving image footage from the archive’s collection.
The first in a series of four programs will cover the workshop held earlier this year at UH West Oʻahu celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Hōkūleʻa’s first launch. Former KGMB reporter Elisa Yadao and cameraman Cliff Watson shared their experiences producing a documentary about the Hōkūleʻa in the mid-1980s.
The second program describes the purpose of the ʻUluʻulu Archive in preserving the moving image history of Hawaiʻi.
The programs will air starting Nov. 1 on ʻŌlelo 53.
