SPONSOR MESSAGE:
Through our eyes
Reclaim
Hawaiian cultural practices are a source of pride and joy, but they have faced threats of extinction due to colonization and oppression. In “Reclaim,” Honor and his older brother Hanalei connect to their Hawaiian roots through language and the rigorous practice of hula, honoring their ancestors, preserving their heritage, and eventually rising to compete in the prestigious “Olympics of hula.”
