This film recounts the diverse history of the rich, fertile area on the slopes of Haleakalā from the days before Western contact to the present. The film weaves together stories from dozens of Upcountry residents who lived and worked on the sugar and pineapple plantations; paniolos who made a living raising cattle; and long-time merchants and historians who call Makawao home.
