In this second episode with Polynesian filmmaker and visual storyteller Conrad Lihilihi (see the episode two weeks ago to listen to part 1), Conrad goes in-depth into the creative process of making his new docuseries about the Hawaiian language and the 1896 Hawaiian language ban (see link below to watch). He also talks about whitewashing in Hollywood, his favorite Hawaiian tradition, and advice he’d give budding filmmakers and creatives.
