Nā Kamalei: The Men of Hula captures the journey of legendary master hula teacher Robert Uluwehi Cazimero and the only all-male hula school in Hawaiʻi as they prepare to compete in the world's largest hula festival. Beyond deep-rooted stereotypes of 'grass-skirt girls', the film tells a story of Hawaiian pride as the men celebrate their 30th anniversary in continuing the revival of men dancing the hula.
