Atlantans have the opportunity to view a new documentary by noted filmmaker Edgy Lee, titled The Hawaiians – Reflecting Spirit. The movie offers important cultural insights on who the Hawaiians are as a people, their origins, historical challenges and current social conditions. Most importantly, the film points to the revival of spirit of a native people whose identity is intrinsically tied to their Hawaiian homeland. The film will be shown in Atlanta on Thursday, March 16, 2006, at 7 p.m. at the Rialto Center for the Performing Arts downtown. The movie is complimentary to the public as well as the Q&A session with director/producer Edgy Lee afterwards.
