Oli

A Kānaka Maoli soldier named Paʻakai returns home to Hawaiʻi after the loss of a comrade for whom he bears blame. Tormented by PTSD and survivor's guilt, he struggles to readjust to life on the ʻĀina and to reconnect with his mother, family, and the friends he knew from high school. Sensing his turmoil, his mother proposes oli (chanting) as a healing practice. Might ancestral knowledge offer Paʻakai a path to healing?
