"American Aloha: Hula Beyond Hawai'i"

American Aloha: Hula Beyond Hawai'i
(2003, 55 min.) US
Director: Evann Siebens and Lisette Marie Flanary
Executive producer: Cara Mertes
Produced in association with Pacific Islanders in Communications, Independent Television Services, and P.O.V./American Documentary

Hula, the "heart of the Hawaiian people," is celebrated in this view of California's vibrant Hawaiian community and three of its kumu hula, hula masters. Embodying culture and history, the dances taught at the hula halau keep the Native Hawaiian spirit alive and growing on the mainland.
