In the early 2000’s, Kiliona Young, Kalei Young, Roman Corpuz, and Kawai Hoe co-founded the band Pō and the 4Fathers. Their first show together as a band was in Autorea and they immediately knew the collective musical energy was special. The band created a new sound, best described as Maoli music (indigenous music), bringing fresh energy, cultural lyrics and musical creativity to the World of Polynesia. Their songwriting and musicianship quickly captured the hearts of listeners around the globe as well as the attention of some major players in the music industry. The band is deeply rooted in Hawaiian language & culture, Polynesian rhythms, and indigenous sounds, as well as the music that has moved generations like reggae, soul, blues, funk, and hip hop. They write songs of joy, hardship, pain and triumph, learned from shared experiences from the time of Pō to the present, and into the future. Pō & the 4Fathers is an 8-piece band with members Kiliona Young (Vocals, Guitar), Kawai Hoe (Vocals, Ukulele, Guitar), Kalei Young (Drums, Vocals), Roman Corpuz (Lead Guitar, Vocals), Augie B “Lopaka” Colon Jr. (Master Percussionist), Kalei Yamanoha (Trombone, Steel Guitar, Accordion), Jordan Lopez (Trumpet, Keyboard, Vocals) and Adam Zopel (Bass, Fiddle). “As true stewards of their culture, the songs Pō & the 4Fathers write, sing and deliver penetrating messages of love and consciousness through their perspectives as Maoli (Native Hawaiian) people.”

Transmitted by Australian visual artist Jonathan Zawada, Tall Tales is a fairy tale for the modern world; depicting rising tides, kings & queens, amazon logistics and robotic arms under iridescent skies. We wanted computers to do our accounting – instead, they try to paint our pictures and sing our songs.

Emmy Award-winning director Andrew Goldberg's White With Fear sheds light on the decades-long strategy of politicians and media outlets to amplify racial divisions and white victimization narratives for power and profit. Described by critics as “riveting,” “masterful” and “absolutely required viewing,” and in the tradition of past classic documentary exposes such as Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room and Inside Job, White With Fear uncovers the real-world consequences of manipulative tactics that seek to demonize immigrants, spread Islamophobia, and deploy a cynical and strategic campaign of racist rhetoric with real world effects. White With Fear is a potent journalistic undertaking that unearths the hidden political playbook and key operatives behind these efforts. With revealing first-person access to figures like Hillary Clinton, Steve Bannon, Rep. Jamie Raskin, former Fox News reporter Carl Cameron, The Lincoln Project co-founder Stuart Stevens, and other leading experts, White With Fear offers an urgent and eye-opening look at how racial bigotry is weaponized to undermine democracy.
