More than a show. A cultural reckoning.
Mālama kō Aloha is a sweeping scripted drama rooted in Hawai‘i’s paniolo culture. It follows two young lovers from rival families whose forbidden romance reignites an ancestral feud and forces their communities to confront a shared, fractured past. Blending generational conflict, sacred land, and enduring love, this is Hawai‘i’s own modern-day Western.
