Honoka‘a

Home is Here takes us to the town of Honokaʻa on the Hāmākua Coast of Hawaiʻi Island. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, migrant workers arrived in the islands from around the world, forming the small but mighty multicultural community centered around sugar until the last plantation closed in 1994. The charm of Honokaʻa is highlighted in its rich history, which is evident when you walk through downtown. PBS Hawaiʻi talks story with the people who make Honokaʻa so special and who ensure that the town always remains true to its roots. Don’t miss this new episode on Wednesday, October 29 at 7:30 pm on PBS Hawaiʻi or pbshawaii.org.

How Do We Define Faith?

Faith is defined differently by different people. For many, it is rooted in religion. For others, it is defined by culture, family or community. Whatever the source, faith can keep us grounded through good and challenging times. We will be joined by a panel of representatives from Hawaiʻi’s secular, non-secular and educational communities for a thoughtful discussion on faith. Join us Thursday, October 23 at 7:30 pm and streaming live on YouTube @PBSHawaii.

ART & SCIENCE COLLIDE weaves together compelling stories of artists participating in the Getty Museum’s “PST ART” event.

More drama is coming your way Sundays in October with the premiere of three new series.

MAIGRET ON MASTERPIECE features Parisian Chief Inspector Jules Maigret solving a series of complex crimes using unconventional methods and a fierce sense of justice. THE GOLD ON MASTERPIECE has Hugh Bonneville leading an ensemble cast in an inspired-by-true-events story about what began as an armed robbery but turned into one of the biggest heists in British history.
