Today it is estimated there are nearly two million people dancing hula in Japan—a figure greater than the entire population of Hawaiʻi. With more people dancing hula in Japan than in Hawaiʻi where the native art was born, this explosive growth has created a multimillion-dollar industry based on culture as commodity.

See Mo Te Iwi at Maui Arts & Cultural Center on Thursday, November 21, at 7:00 pm, as part of the Hawai'i International Film Festival.
