About Price of Paradise
Born on the remote Kalaupapa peninsula on Moloka‘i—once a forced isolation settlement for people with Hansen’s Disease—Lindamae was taken from her mother at birth and placed for adoption. Her story mirrors that of many children of Kalaupapa, torn from their families in a system that erased identities and silenced voices.
Price of Paradise (2025) is a documentary film directed by Anabella Funk. It runs 57 minutes and was released in October 2025.
Lindamae Lawelawe Carillo Maldonado takes the lead as Self, Douglas Carillo as Self, Alice Carillo as Self, and Kapulei Flores as Self.
