Join us for the screening of FIFO Hawaiʻi’s keynote film, “Te Puna Ora (The Source of Life)” on Thursday, Dec. 11, 2025!
“Te Puna Ora” is an artful telling of a burgeoning environmental movement in French Polynesia. In the film, we follow three indigenous women — a community leader, a spear fisher, and a teenage activist — as they cultivate an alliance at the front lines of climate change. Their journey is mirrored by a parallel fictional storyline of the myth of goddess Hina as she, like them, sails through the South Pacific, faces a storm, and finds purpose.
After the film, you’re invited to take part in a conversation with the filmmakers.
