Out of State
Shipped to a for-profit prison in Arizona, native Hawaiians fight isolation and embrace indigenous traditions behind bars.
This is the story of three Hawaiian men incarcerated in Arizona who learn from a fellow inmate the power of their cultural roots. Far from home serving time in a for-profit prison, these native Hawaiians rediscover their cultural identities, from native language to traditional dance. With their indigenous roots reawakened and re-entry around the corner, the men are challenged to take those positive lessons home to their family and friends.
