“Ki Ho'alu: That's Slack Key Guitar”

This compelling look at Hawaiian slack-key guitar unveils a cultural richness that is uniquely Hawaiian. The story is told not by a narrator but by the artists telling their stories in their own words so that the spirit and feeling of the Hawaiian people emerge.

“The Hobart Shakespeareans"

Teaching in Los Angeles at one of the nation's largest inner-city grade schools, Hobart Elementary, Rafe Esquith leads his class of fifth graders through uncompromising curriculum and inspires them with cross-country trips to learn history firsthand. And at the end of the semester, every student performs in a full-length Shakespeare play with advice from actors Ian McKellen and Michael York.
