Running for Grace
Love is worth going the distance
Directed by David L. Cunningham
Produced by Kona Snow Pictures, Public House Films
A tender period romance set in 1920s Hawaii that centers on found family, forbidden love, and the beauty of human connection across social divides.
An orphan boy of mixed race finds family with the newly arrived white village doctor in Hawaii. The boy can run like the wind, and begins bringing Doc's medicine to coffee pickers throughout the mountainous region. On an errand, the medicine runner meets the daughter of the plantation owner and a forbidden, young love blossoms like the white "Kona Snow" of the surrounding coffee trees.
