HIFF: SHAKA, A Story of Aloha

4:30pm – SHAKA, A Story of Aloha

Director: Alexander Bocchieri

The Lāʻie community figures large in this documentary that tries to find the origins of the state’s “Swiss army knife” of good-natured gestures. The latter part of the documentary spends a good deal of its time relating the fascinating story of community leader Tutu Hamana Kalili back in the 1910s that may have started it all.
