About the film Beyond the deep-rooted stereotypes of ?grass skirt girls?, Na Kamalei: Men of Hula explores the revival of men who dance the hula. It follows legendary master hula teacher, Robert Cazimero, and H?lau N? Kamalei, the only all-male hula school in Hawai'i, as they journey to compete at the world?s largest hula competition. Celebrating the 30th anniversary of their school and competing with some of the oldest male dancers at the competition, Robert and his men are out to prove that the renaissance of male hula is not over. Na Kamalei tells a story of Hawaiian pride through the exploration of male roles in the hula tradition.
