Mauna Kea: Documentary examines culture, science
The
Advertiser
features a piece
on the new PBS
Hawaii documentary "First Light" which examines disputes atop Mauna
Kea: "The tension between native practitioners who view the mountain as sacred,
astronomers who value its importance in maximizing the potential of emerging
technologies and environmentalists who wish to preserve it as a sanctuary for
native life has been sometimes
explosive.""First Light" shows tonight
at 8 pm on PBS Hawaii.
