The film follows Ed “Kuki” Avegalio from the village of Pavaiai on the island of Tutuila in American Samoa. The disabled combat veteran leads the hydroponic farming movement on the island to help his people become food sovereign for the first time since World War II. During Kuki’s journey he must overcome damaging cyclones and tropical storms, a result of climate change, in one of the most affected areas in the world. Further, he must fight for funding from a local government that is trying to manage the territory with limited resources. For Kuki, his mission is to see American Samoa achieve food sovereignty and have the islands be in control of their own destiny.
