Join us for the Hemphill Branch's AAPI Heritage Month Cinema Series, a month long showcase of classic and contemporary films created by Asian, Asian American, and Pacific Islander actors, writers, directors, and filmmakers. From the hard-hitting social commentary of Parasite to the magical musical adventure of Moana, each film explores a different aspect of the Asian/AAPI story across theme and genre.

On Saturday, May 16 at 3:00 pm, we are screening Disney's Moana, the 2016 animated adventure starring Auliʻi Cravalho and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

Here is a description of the film: "In ancient Polynesia, when a terrible curse incurred by the demigod Maui reaches Moana's island, she answers the Ocean's call to seek out Maui to set things right."
