Aloha Goes Both Ways

In Hawai’i “aloha” is so much more than greeting and farewell. It means giving one’s love, knowledge, skills and mana (life force) to enrich others, whether in the Islands or abroad. The Emmy Award-winning documentary video series Aloha Goes Both Ways profiles exceptional people from the Islands who embody this spirit of aloha, those who’ve achieved success in their lives and professions and who generously share their gifts with the world beyond Hawai’i’s shores.
