American Aloha: Hula Beyond Hawai‘i is a film that explores the art of hula as it lives and thrives on the mainland United States. The film focuses on three kumu hula, or master hula teachers, who continue to perpetuate the Hawaiian culture through the teaching of music, language, and dance in California. Using their individual styles of hula, ranging from traditional to contemporary, these kumu have put their heart and soul into creating an opportunity for people living on these distant shores to connect with their heritage and home in Hawai‘i.
