Jason Scott Lee interview (The Wind and The Reckoning)

Jason Scott Lee joins Popcorn Podcast to talk passion project The Wind and The Reckoning (aka The Reckoning), Hawaii's first native language film to receive a wide release. The movie, inspired by real events, follows the rebellion of a small group of Native Hawaiians as they courageously resist government-mandated exile during an outbreak of leprosy in 19th-century colonial Hawaii. In our chat, Lee (Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story, Mulan) shares more about this story of resilience and cultural identity, and what it means for Hawaiian people; what it was like filming a movie about a pandemic during an actual pandemic; and the groundbreaking film that still blows his mind.
