Local Programs

Along with the great national programming found on PBS Hawaii, we are proud to present local shows produced both by PBS Hawaii and by Hawaii’s independent production community and seen exclusively on PBS Hawaii. Through the years we have presented outstanding local programs in the areas of education, public affairs, culture, arts, science and natural history. We count telling Hawaii’s stories to Hawaii’s people and to the nation among the most important things we do. The following is a list of programs recently presented on PBS Hawaii.

First Light
First Light tells the story of Mauna Kea, the most important place on earth for ground-based astronomy and the most sacred place in Hawaii to cultural practitioners. First light is the term astronomers use to describe the very first sighting through a brand new telescope. In the Hawaiian culture, the morning's first light signifies a time of great power when the day's fate is yet to be determined. The quest for the delicate balance of understanding and agreement is the basis of this important documentary.
