Synopsis
Kauai, a Hawaiian island rich in history, serves as the backdrop for Anthony Banua-Simon's Cane Fire. The film interweaves four generations of family narratives with Hollywood productions and found footage. It reveals how economic and cultural forces have marginalized Indigenous and working-class residents, often relegating them to the role of "extras" in their own lives. Through this lens, the documentary presents a complex portrait of the island's past and present.
