Lahaina Before the Fire Part 2

- This video was created as a tribute and memorial to this wonderful town. It presents a short explanation of how that movie was created, with added scenes of Lahaina and Maui.
It shows Lahaina the way it was before the fire and hopefully leads towards a rebirth of Lahaina so that it can come back looking something like it does today. It's such a problem to decide how to build it, how to pay for building it.
If you have not seen the main movie yet, be sure to take a look.

Love Lahaina. So heartbreaking for the poor people that died and all the animals 😩
Yes! We cant forget all the precious animals!!!😞😞😞❤️
So criminal. Independent Inquiry needed.
You really cannot comprehend how much your beautiful video means to so many for so many different reasons. You have single handedly immortalised Lahaina for one and all.
if this is way tourists think, no doubt
they missing out on real slack key music and real hula, whatever they want
Thank you. This is my first time to see Lahaina. 💕🙏
Beautiful job Dennis. Something much needed. Betty O.
Aloha from Maui. We love ur movie and while it makes us cry being reminded of the beauty of our precious home, it’s also so very beautiful and brings back such wonderful memories. PLEASE UPDATE UR MAP to show that KAANAPALI and everything north is OPEN! Downtown Lahaina is the main area that’s closed. Everything north of Lahaina is OPEN and we NEED visitors to start coming back. Many mahalos and we hope you return to Maui very soon. Aloha
Thanks again for keeping this going. This is a big one.
People want to keep up with this. People need to go to Maui and spend, spend, spend.
Thank you
We will never forget LAHAINA we really love this place.❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much. 👏🏻🇬🇧
Thank you for making people aware that the island needs to be occupied with tourism bless you
Thanks again for "Lahaina Before the Fire". I can vouch😍for the beauty of the rest of the island, including Paia, Haleakala, the Iao Valley, the Ocean Aquarium, and Kihei.
Thank you for sharing your video of Lahaina with the world. Beautiful.
Such a beautiful town, wishing all the Best to the Recovery of Lahaina, Maui
It's tourism that built Lahaina town, and it's tourism that's going to build it back strong.
It's tourism that saved the Hawaiian culture.
I remember when I was a second grader, when they were teaching the Hawaiian culture in our schools. But the following year, they removed the teaching of the Hawaiian culture from our curriculum. It wasn't until I was in my early 20s that tourism started to grow once again, and it was the tourists that wanted to know more about the Hawaiian culture and to experience the Aloha Spirit of its people.
It's my opinion that it was tourism that saved the Hawaiian culture and helped it to thrive once again. With tourism, the economy grew, created many new jobs, and kept many of our children from moving away.
Let's face it, Maui needs tourism to survive; otherwise, Maui will die.
I grew up on Maui in the early fifties. It was wonderful to have experienced island life back then, but times have changed. Maui is truly a tropical paradise, and it will remain to be that paradise for all who live there and visit.
Thank you for showing Lahaina before the Fire
My dream to come again!
What a beautiful place & blessed to live there!♥️
So beautiful❤ great work and so sad situation with a awful fire😢
The quality and production of these videos are so well done. Thank you for this!
Enjoyed your videos of Lahaina. I was there a couple of weeks prior to the fire. So glad I got to experience it.
It's so sad to see it now in ashes. I think of the people we met and pray they are survivors and can rebuild their businesses and homes.
Mahalo nui for sharing ❤️❤️❤️
So happy to see Lahaina as it was, I pray the life and soul of Lahaina will return for all to enjoy again soon. ❤🙏🏾
Mahalo for the beautiful memories about Lahaina. I visited several times, it is/was the best place on Maui. I miss it terribly 😢.
Excellent! An instant national treasure. Your work and presentation is professional and appreciated. Mahalo!
Watching with tears in my eyes and sorrow in my heart...But..Hope for a restored Lahaina that will honor the residents and visitors alike.
This is so important, thank you!
Yes & all the animals that
Went through a great deal of sadness w there owners! & all the beautiful children! Prayers for all who lost everything!♥️
I've never been there, wow what a charming town. So sad. Thank you so much for sharing.
My body is in Gatineau, Québec, Canada but my heart, mind and spirit are definattely in Lahaina. Mahalo Dennis.❤💚(green heart for hope)
MAHALO FOR THE VIDEO, SO SADE
Many thanks for your beautiful & informative videos!
LOVED YOUR VIDEOS OF EUROPE AND CHINA.
Thanks for the Maui videos. I’ve been there twice and enjoyed the organic charm of Lahaina. The town will re-emerge eventually, but I’m afraid the rebirth will be dominated by corporate and big-money interests. I hope I’m wrong.
Aloha hugs 🤗 nice to meet you & your travels in life.
I will watch it Im remember 9/11 this evening. I will go visit Hana
What can we do to help. How do we help?
I would like Lahaina to be built back close to the way it was and I hope the Hawaiian ancestry has a bigger seat at the table.
Mahalo Nui 🌴 🌴 🌴🤙
I like you video but if I was a betting man I would say a lot of people will not be able to rebuild do to money the rich will swoop in buy the land and change it for the worse I don’t live in Hawaii but I do know what money does to people they don’t care who they displace as long as they benefit from it
If I could afford it, I'd build my house under water or under ground with air purifiers installed. 🤐
