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.
