Aikane

This is a beautiful and powerful film. It's also one of the very few "LGBTQ" stories I've seen that is not about the pain of coming out or the problems of discrimination, but about the wonderful things that happen when people are free to be themselves and love who they love.

It was also a fun film to watch. Kind of like a Walt Disney adventure story, but with a queer twist. The use of color and light are amazing.

Most of all Aidan's made me proud to be Hawaiian. Before colonization, same sex relationships were not only accepted, they were encouraged, especially for the chiefs. I wish westerners had learned from us instead of imposing their own narrow views.

I can't wait to see what's next from this team.
