Movie reviews and a little fun at both the listener and the hosts' expense.
In this Movie Show Digital Extra, Blair Treu, writer/director/producer for the new documentary film Sharing Aloha joins Andy Farnsworth to talk about the movie and the people involved in creating the magic of Hawaii’s #1 attraction, the Polynesian Cultural Center.
Treu's film tells the story of how Pacific Rim students come as strangers to the PCC and earn their living, as well as college scholarships, leaving school debt-free. They are the Life and Heart of the PCC and perform and host the 90,000 monthly visitors from around the world Treu describes this film as THEIR true story and culture that they learned from the feet of their ancestors. There are 8,000 students each semester that come as complete strangers and leave as one Ohana. This has continued for 60 years with no end in sight.
What makes this film different than many is that all proceeds from the movie directly fund additional scholarships for students gathered from around the Pacific Rim.
Sharing Aloha, in theaters starting Aug. 28th, features interviews with Malcom Timotea, Leilani Nicole Wilson, Jimmy Keen, and Atea Lee Chip Sao, among others. Directed by Blair Treu.

In this Movie Show Digital Extra, T.C. Christensen, writer/director/cinematographer for the new film Raising the Bar: The Alma Richards Story joins Andy Farnsworth and guest co-host KellieAnn Halvorsen to talk about the movie, including why this story is so personal for him, which parts of the story happened exactly as depicted in the film, and how he was able to recreate that specific time period.
