‘The Wind and The Reckoning’ Website With New HIC Content!

John Fusco‘s The Wind and The Reckoning is getting closer and closer to coming to the screen!

The true life story of the Leper War on Kaua’i is depicted in this chilling and moving film.

Synoposis:

“The Wind and the Reckoning reveals the real-life story of a Native Hawaiian ranching family that defies the newly established provisional government and faces down American mercenaries rather than have their freedoms callously ripped away. For the first time in a feature film, the Battle of Kalalau unfolds through the eyes of the islands’ indigenous people as they take a stand against oppression.“

Produced and directed by David L. Cunningham, with a multi talented cast consisting of Jason Scott Lee, John Schaech, Lance Kerwin, Lindsay Watson, Ron Yuan, Matt Corboy, Alex Farnham, Sisa Grey, Nick Masciangelo and Henry Ian Cusick.
