One Big Home
About the Film:
Special thanks to community partners Mālama Mānoa and HI Good Neighbor.
Directed by Thomas Bena. USA. 2016. 82 mins.
Gentrification comes in many forms. On the tiny island of Martha’s Vineyard, where presidents and celebrities vacation, trophy homes threaten to destroy the island's unique character. Twelve years in the making, One Big Home follows one carpenter's journey to understand the trend toward giant houses. When he feels complicit in wrecking the place he calls home, he takes off his tool belt and picks up a camera. Bumping up against angry homeowners and builders who look the other way, he works with his community and attempts to pass a new bylaw to limit house size. Filmmaker Thomas Bena interviewed many people with different perspectives on mega-mansions and limiting house size. The film presents various points of views and conflicting ideas on what makes a house a home.
Join us for a post-screening discussion about monster homes in Hawai'i moderated by Catherine Cruz, Co-Host of

Trevor Ozawa, Council Member, Honolulu City Council District IV
