THE LEGACY OF A PANIOLO, THE STORY OF GORDON KALANIOPIO

This student-made film tells the story of a paniolo and his deep roots in Hawaiian culture. Through Gordon Kalaniopio, a cowboy at Parker Ranch for over 40 years, we see how ranching was passed down from his father and shaped his life. From early morning cattle drives to the hard work of breaking horses, his journey shows dedication and pride. As fewer young people become paniolos today, Gordon hopes the next generation will keep this important tradition alive.
