A transgender Native Hawaiian teacher inspires a young girl to fulfill her destiny of leading the school's male hula troupe, even as she struggles to find love and a committed relationship in her own life.

Eleven year old Ho'onani dreams of leading the hula troupe at her inner-city Honolulu school. The only trouble is that the group is just for boys. She's fortunate that her teacher understands first-hand what it's like to be 'in the middle' - the ancient Hawaiian tradition of embracing both male and female spirit. Together they set out to prove that what matters most is to be true to yourself.

Long ago, four extraordinary beings of dual male and female spirit, led by Kapaemahu, brought certain healing arts from Tahiti to Hawaii and were loved by the people for their gentle ways and the miraculous cures they performed.

As rising sea levels threaten the loss of their motherlands in Hawaiʻi, the Philippines, China, and North America, four women fight to preserve the volcano, ocean, land and air for future generations. AFTEREARTH is told through music, poetry, and heartfelt testimonial, and displayed through stunning visuals situated in locations touched by the Pacific Ocean.
