The Finale is Just the Beginning | Chief of War Talk Story Ep. 9

Pa‘a and Producer Brian Keaulana reflect on reshaping the show’s arc, amplifying Hawai‘i’s gifts, and building capacity and community. Their talk story explores kuleana and the balance of authenticity and scale—whether filming with 300 crew across five units, capturing Kalapana as the volcano erupted, or holding ceremony both behind the scenes and in front of the camera—with an effort that extends far beyond the series itself.
