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.

MAHALO FOR THE VIDEO, SO SADE
Love Lahaina. So heartbreaking for the poor people that died and all the animals 😩
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.
Thank you for sharing your video of Lahaina with the world. Beautiful.
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
So beautiful❤ great work and so sad situation with a awful fire😢
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.
I've never been there, wow what a charming town. So sad. Thank you so much for sharing.
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.
Many thanks for your beautiful & informative videos!

Went through a great deal of sadness w there owners! & all the beautiful children! Prayers for all who lost everything!♥️
Mahalo for the beautiful memories about Lahaina. I visited several times, it is/was the best place on Maui. I miss it terribly 😢.
Beautiful job Dennis. Something much needed. Betty O.
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 🌴 🌴 🌴🤙
