Jason Scott Lee joins Popcorn Podcast to talk passion project The Wind and The Reckoning (aka The Reckoning), Hawaii's first native language film to receive a wide release.

In our chat, Lee (Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story, Mulan) shares more about this story of resilience and cultural identity, and what it means for Hawaiian people; what it was like filming a movie about a pandemic during an actual pandemic; and the groundbreaking film that still blows his mind.
