Standing Above the Clouds is a powerful feature documentary about the Indigenous women behind the largest social movement in modern Hawaiian history. The film follows three Native Hawaiian families who dedicate their lives to defending the sacred mountain Mauna Kea from the building of the world’s largest telescope, which threatens the island’s water table and cultural practices. Through the lens of mothers and daughters, Standing Above the Clouds explores the social and emotional labor of retaining ancient ceremonies in a rapidly modernizing world.
