CONTENT WARNING:
This film is presented in with English subtitles.
Here are eight films that speak to the idea of home, as we trans folk experience it. Whatever or wherever that home may be- because we are everywhere - we inhabit, we transform, and we abide. We are home with or without our families, no matter what the description; in our lands, whether we are welcome, banished, seeking, finding, giving, or needing, whether we are revered or forgotten: in our own bodies, and in each other's hearts. These are stories about living trans, right where you are.

KapaeMahu

CONTENT WARNING:
Kapaemahu reveals the healing power of four mysterious stones on Waikiki Beach – and the legendary transgender spirits within them. Long ago, four extraordinary individuals of both male and female spirit brought the healing arts from Tahiti to Hawaii. Beloved by the people for their gentle ways and miraculous cures, they imbued four giant boulders with their powers. The stones still stand on what is now Waikiki Beach, but the true story behind them has been hidden – until now. Narrated in an ancient Hawaiian dialect, Kapaemahu brings this powerful legend back to life in vivid animation, seen through the eyes of a curious child. Directed by Hinaleimoana Wong-Kalu & Dean Hamer & Joe WIlson, 2020, 9 min, USA, Olelo Niihau with English subtitles, T/Q
