Hawaii International Film Festival Spring Showcase 2009

HIFF is partnering with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Honolulu (BBBS) for a special screening of a film created by ten local kids and their BBBS mentors. MAILI LAND'S STORIES OF HOPE are three short films written, directed and produced by children, ages 11-17, who are part of BBBS's Maili Land project, a transitional housing program on Oahu's Leeward side. Moviegoers will see that the stories these children tell ring true. FRIENDSHIP is the story of one boy who moves into Maili Land, a transitional housing program, and struggles to make friends. A PROMISE tells the tale of another Maili Land family and how their son sees promise in the future.
