Stop 'Temptation Island' from Filming in Sacred Keauhou Bay


Stop 'Temptation Island' from Filming in Sacred Keauhou Bay
The Issue
Keauhou Bay in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii is not just a picturesque location that serves as a backdrop for television shows. It is a sacred ground, deeply rooted in ancient Hawaiian culture and spirituality. For generations, it has provided solace and sustenance to its people. To the residents of this community, it is far more than just land; it is 'aina, a living entity requiring respect and protection.
The proposed filming of 'Temptation Island' in this revered place threatens to disrupt the sanctity and tranquility that envelops this portion of the island on Holua rd. The production of such a show, which thrives on sensationalism and commercialism, stands in stark contrast to the values of respect, harmony, and unity upheld by the local culture.
Allowing a reality show that centers on frivolous relationship drama to invade Keauhou Bay desecrates its sacred nature. It trivializes the land as merely an exotic film location. The integrity of the 'aina and the beliefs intertwined with it cannot be overshadowed by entertainment ambitions.
We urge local authorities, community leaders, and producers of 'Temptation Island' to reconsider their decision. Aloha and unity comes from embracing the sacredness of these lands.
Stand with us to honor and protect the sanctity of Holua Road and Keauhou Bay. Add your signature to preserve the integrity and spirituality of this special place. Your voice can help shield our land from exploitation.
