Railroading Paradise chronicles the biggest development battle in Hawaii's history against the backdrop of a bitter mayoral election and a controversial $8 billion elevated rail project. Based on interviews with top politicians, national planning experts and environmental leaders, the film confronts the question: can anything be done to protect the beauty of the last undeveloped places on Oahu - or is the island doomed to be swamped by the pressures of a growing population and booming tourist industry?
Railroading Paradise premiered at the Hawaii International Film Festival in October 2013 and enjoyed a run of prime time broadcasts in 2014 on the local affiliates of CBS and NBC.
