The Kohala Oral History Project began in 2019 when Lucas Manuel-Scheibe recorded the stories of his 80-year-old grandmother, Martina Manuel, a long-time resident of Kohala. With the help of his mother, Jocelyn Manuel, Lucas set out to film more of the “old timers.” The interviews were assembled for the film, where individuals share stories of growing up in the plantation camps and the simple life that was enjoyed. PBS Hawaiʻi streamed an advanced screener of This is Kohala. This is the live panel discussion that followed, moderated by Chuck Parker, with Jocelyn Manuel (Producer), Bryan Campbell (Editor), and Joseph Carvalho (Featured guest).
