Based on The True Story of Kaluaikoolau: As Told By His Wife Piilani, The Wind & The Reckoning brings to life the story of a legendary Hawaiian hero. Koʻolau (Jason Scott Lee) contracts leprosy and vows to never be separated from his family and taken to the leper colony by sheriff McCabe (Henry Ian Cusick) and the Provisional Government. This feature film is a treat as it is mostly told in ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi, the original language of the Kanaka Maoli.
