Dir. Dean Hamer and Joe Wilson / USA / 2014 / 77min
Prod. Connie M Florez, Dean Hamer, Joe Wilson / editor Nels Bangerter / score Makana
With Hinaleimoana Wong-Kalu, Haemaccelo Kalu, and Ho'onani Kamai

Directors Dean Hamer and Joe Wilson invite us to imagine a world where a little boy can grow up to be the woman of his dreams, and a young girl can rise to become a leader among men. Hinaleimoana is a proud and confident mahu (a person who embraces what is considered both the male and female inside). She is the wise, passionate, tattoo-covered, outspoken kumu (teacher, leader) who you cannot help but fall for as she negotiates the struggles of her new marriage and guides the determined young student Ho‘onani in this refreshing and irresistible documentary about being true to yourself, fighting for love and through heartbreak, and the struggle to maintain Pacific Islander culture in modern day Hawai'i.

The bittersweet vignette of stunning animation, giving voice to a queer woman estranged from her father, and wondering what kind of a parent she will be for her daughter.
