Mele Murals Award Winning Film
Mele Murals is a documentary on the transformative power of modern graffiti art
and ancient Hawaiian culture for a new generation of Native Hawaiians.
At the center of the story are two renowned street artists - Estria Miyashiro
and John Hina - a group of Native Hawaiian youth, and the rural community of Waimea.
Set against the resurgence of Hawaiian language and culture over the past twenty
years, Mele Murals shows how public art powerfully fuses with Native Hawaiian
traditions to impact the youth, the town of Waimea, and most of all the artists.
