IZ tells the story of Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, whose haunting medley of 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World' became a cultural touchstone. Directed by Jennifer Akana Sturla, the film really dives into the rich tapestry of Hawaiian life and identity. The pacing is reflective, allowing you to really soak in not just the music but the essence of a man who became a voice for his people. There’s something raw and genuine about the footage, mixing interviews with archival material, capturing both his struggles and triumphs. It’s not just about the music; it’s about legacy, culture, and connection to the land. You feel the atmosphere of aloha and the weight of history throughout the documentary. Definitely gives you a lot to think about.
