Standing Above The Clouds is a documentary that follows mother and daughter activists of three native Hawaiian families after a massive thirty meter telescope is proposed to be built on the sacred mountain, Mauna Kea. Director Jalena Keane-Lee and activist/artist Hāwane Rios join us virtually to discuss intergenerational healing through activism, how Jalena was able to gain the trust of the people in order to make this film, their focus on mental health and love, and the importance of staying connected to your humanity in the face of adversity.
