Seen any good movies lately?

As a partial reply about Free Streaming options (because there's options, there's always options to choose what your money supports and what it doesn't), I wanted to highlight Kanopy which is free if you have a library card or university ID. Very much a quality over quantity source, some of their Hawai'i related options include:

Sharks of Hawai'i - "Discover surprising facts about the sharks that call the warm waters near Hawaii’s islands their home."

Pidgin: The Voice of Hawai'i - "What if you are made to feel ashamed when you speak your “mother tongue” or ridiculed because of your accent?"

Railroading Paradise: Environmental Preservation vs. New Housing in Hawaii - "Railroading Paradise chronicles the bitter tug-of-war between efforts to preserve O‘ahu and pressures for new housing and growth"

Mele Murals - "A documentary about the transformative power of art through the unlikely union of graffiti and ancient Hawaiian culture." (Much of it takes place at Kanu O Ka 'Aina Charter School in Waimea)

and many more about the volcanoes, surfing, nisei soldiers of WWII, Hawaiian renaissance, ukuleles, Maui wildfires, farming, and so forth. Also has many more mainstream and foreign movies and documentaries worth checking out IMHO.
