We have been watching a bunch of family movies lately because everyone has been at home. We really enjoyed the last Netflix family movie We can Be Heroes and now there is another movie coming the end of the month that I think we can enjoy together. The movie is called Finding ‘Ohana and it looks really cute and reminiscent of The Goonies from when I was a kid. Take a look at the trailer.
Finding ‘Ohana will be released on Netflix on January 29, 2021 and we’ll be watching. More info on the movie below.

Geocache champion Pilialoha “Pili” Kawena, age 12, is abruptly lifted from her busy New York life and dropped into rural O‘ahu to help care for her grandfather. Initially skeptical about her new surroundings, Pili finds a cryptic pirate’s journal in her Papa’s studio hinting at a 200-year-old shipwrecked treasure hidden away in the island’s caves and mountains. With her older brother and new friends in tow she uses her clue solving skills to lead them on an adventure of a lifetime through the natural wonders of Hawaiʻi. As she learns to respect and love her native culture she also discovers not all secrets should be shared and that the real treasure in life is ‘ohana – her family.
