Following legendary teacher Robert Cazimero and the only all-male hula school in Hawaii, NA KAMALEI: The Men of Hula goes beyond deep-rooted stereotypes of "grass skirt girls" and reveals a story of Hawaiian pride through the exploration of male roles in the hula tradition—past and present.

NA KAMALEI: The Men of Hula premieres Tuesday, May 6 on INDEPENDENT LENS, a weekly series airing on PBS. Hosted by Terrence Howard, the acclaimed series showcases powerful and innovative independent films. Presented by ITVS, INDEPENDENT LENS is broadcast on PBS stations nationwide.

Thanks to PBS for making the time to create footage for our HAWAII. 30 yrs, Robert is Kumu Hula...a professor...a divine gift for me. Mahalo Nui Loa for posting this rare footage.

I would just like to send a Huge Mahalo to Robert and his Halau. I watched this clip as much as watch 2005 performance and am just blown away by the Grace, the strength, the beauty and majesty of their performance and congratulations Na Kamalei for your achievements. It has been an honour to view your performance. Kia Ora, Arohanui

This reminds me of AMERICAN ALOHA. I am sure that this is a great film, too.
