E KOMO MAI!
A PLACE IN THE MIDDLE is the true story of a young girl in Hawaiʻi who dreams of leading the boys-only hula group at her school, and a teacher who empowers her through traditional culture. This kid-friendly educational film is a great way to get students thinking and talking about the values of diversity and inclusion, the power of knowing your heritage, and how to prevent bullying by creating a school climate of aloha – from their own point of view!
The film and guides are free, but PLEASE REGISTER so we know who the project is reaching and how to improve it. Mahalo!
Watch an "Insights on PBS Hawaii" conversation about the film that followed its Nov. 12, 2015 PBS broadcast:
