HELLO WORLD! Weʻre stoked to launch this website for the production of ʻONO, Foods of Aloha, a feature-length documentary by nonprofit ID8, that is part of a trilogy of Aloha Spirit films, the first being the award-winning documentary, Shaka, A Story of Aloha.
ʻONO is a quest – part food encyclopedia, part storytelling adventure – that explores the origins and stories behind the islands’ most iconic dishes – to chart a course to a positive future for Hawaiʻiʻs food paradise.
