'Kumu Hina'

Join Palomar College's Pride Center for a free screening of the GLAAD-award winning "Kumu Hina: A Place in the Middle" (2014). The screening will take place on Palomar College's San Marcos campus in MD-157 on April 17 at 5:30 p.m.

Synopsis: Imagine a world where a little boy can grow up to be the woman of his dreams, and a young girl can rise to become a leader among men. Welcome to Kumu Hina's Hawai'i.

During a momentous year in her life in modern Honolulu, Hina Wong-Kalu, a native Hawaiian māhū, or transgender, teacher uses traditional culture to inspire a student to claim her place as leader of the school's all-male hula troupe. But despite her success as a teacher, Hina longs for love and a committed relationship. Will her marriage to a headstrong Tongan man fulfill her dreams? An incredible docu-drama that unfolds like a narrative film, "Kumu Hina" reveals a side of Hawai'i rarely seen on screen.
