Kumu Hina

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. Kumu Hina tells the inspiring story of Hina Wong-Kalu, a transgender native Hawaiian teacher, or kumu, who brings to life Hawaii's traditional embrace of mahu - those who embody both male and female spirit.

My take

A moving portrait of resilience and cultural reclamation. Kumu Hina invites you into the life of a Hawaiian educator who embodies her community's ancient wisdom about gender and spirit—leaving you with a deeper understanding of what it means to live authentically.
