“Ingredients Hawai‘i” spotlights the farmers, chefs, students and native Hawaiian residents who are working to bring healthy, locally grown food to the table. Honolulu filmmaker Robert Bates, the creator and director of the award-winning series “The Kitchen Sessions with Charlie Trotter,” and writer/director of “Ingredients,” a 2009 documentary on the American local food movement, writes: “An enhanced local food community in Hawai‘i has many tangible results … it also has the possibility to serve as a model of culturally based food production that we can share with the world.”
