In November 1993, “Facing Future” was released.

It turned Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwo’ole from a favorite Hawaii musician to an artist on the world stage.

To mark 25 years since the release of “Facing Future,” the most successful Hawaii album of all time, Hawaii News Now compiled a special series and digital documentary that looked at IZ’s life and his legacy.
