| #V329D Hawaiian Healing explores the countless ways in which healing is woven into hawaiian culture, art, music, and daily life. With lomilomi teacher and practitioner Brenda Mohalapua Ignacio, filmmaker John Zak takes you on a journey of discovery as he talks story with practioners and healers who demonstrate that lomilomi is more than a form of hawaiian massage, it is a spirit-based approach to health and life. Includes interviews with Brenda Ignacio, Aunty Mary Fragas, Aunty Mona Kahele, and Haunani Hopkins, visits with Roland Cazimero, Emma Veary, Angela Perez Baraquio about the healing power of Hawaiian music and the true meaning of "Aloha", and a powerful opening chant and tradtional hula kahiko performed by Amber Onaga and Colsen Kanei. Original slack key guitar score by Peter Medeiros. |
