THE ALI’I KING
Set in the 1960’s, a Mormon family of Hawaiian German immigrants embark on a road trip through the Utah desert to attend the opening of Tikiland, a new Disneyland attraction. Along the way, family tensions heat up as the road to "the happiest place on earth” leads to painful revelations about the cultural and emotional complexities that jeopardize the family dynamic.
