Audience Member A moving and very beautiful portrait of a venerated teacher and leader in Hawaii who just happens to be mahu, or transgender, a respected position in traditional Hawaiian society. The story is enhanced by an incredible young girl student. This had me crying, then laughing, and in the end cheering. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Read all reviews
