HKFlix Says:	Despite solid performances and a seemingly interesting story, the director fails to relay the significance of the characters' experiences. The period-inappropriate musical score only further undermines this film, whose many critical accolades baffle us.
Avg. Rating:	4.4 / 5 (based on 4 ratings). What did you think of it?
Plot:	A group of young women slave to form a hula dancing troupe--despite intense social criticism--to save their home town's economy after the local mine downsizes. Based on true events.
