John Fusco‘s The Wind and The Reckoning is getting closer and closer to coming to the screen!

The true life story of the Leper War on Kaua’i is depicted in this chilling and moving film.

Synoposis:

The Wind and the Reckoning reveals the real-life story of a Native Hawaiian ranching family that defies the newly established provisional government and faces down American mercenaries rather than have their freedoms callously ripped away. For the first time in a feature film, the Battle of Kalalau unfolds through the eyes of the islands’ indigenous people as they take a stand against oppression.

Produced and directed by David L. Cunningham, with a multi talented cast consisting of Jason Scott Lee, John Schaech, Lance Kerwin, Lindsay Watson, Ron Yuan, Matt Corboy, Alex Farnham, Sisa Grey, Nick Masciangelo and Henry Ian Cusick.

*The Wind and The Reckoning is the true Hawaiian story of Ko’alau and Pi’ilani who are forced to flee after the government tries to separate their family during a Leprosy outbreak.*

*As an outbreak of leprosy engulfs 19th-century colonial Hawai’i, a small group of infected Native Hawaiians resist government-mandated exile, taking a courageous stand against the provisional government in a story inspired by real-life events.*

The Wind and the Reckoning will have it’s official release later this year.

Recently CBS News highlighted upcoming film The Wind And The Reckoning by John Fusco

Directed by David L Cunningham and starring Jason Scott Lee , Henry Ian Cusick , Johnathon Schaech and Lindsay Watson, the film was safely filmed last year in Hawaii during the Covid 19 pandemic.

“The Wind and The Reckoning” is a true story set in 1893 Hawai’i during the tumultuous year of the overthrow of Queen Lili’uokalani by American businessmen. A Native Hawaiian father and son (Ko’olau and Kaleimanu) contract leprosy but refuse to be separated from their wife and mother (Pi’ilani) and be banished to Molokai “the island of the living grave”. For three and a half years this brave ohana is pursued by mercenaries and bounty hunters with lethal intentions. Ko’olau and family outlast them all and are able to live their last years together in peace and ultimately give voice to a voiceless people.”

Needless to say, it left the fans wanting to know more!

Dirtied and and with a rifle pointed at someone, lots of questions with few answers as of yet!

Titled, The Wind and the Reckoning, it is a Jack London story of Koolau the Leper.

Writer/Producer John Fusco and Director/Producer David Cunningham give us a description of this amazing true tale here at the link :
