(viewing and location info below)

The award-winning animated filmMaisa the Chamoru Girl who Saves Guåhan.

Based on a beloved classic Legend from the island of Guam, 'Maisa the Chamoru Girl who Saves Guåhan' tells the story of how a young Chamoru girl finds the strength, wisdom, and courage to lead the women of Guåhan (Guam) into battle against a giant creature from the Marianas trench that is devouring their island home.

'Maisa' is the first animated film to feature the endangered indigenous Chamorro language of Guam. For this film cultural and language experts worked diligently on bringing the language back to its historical pre contact era. Guam public school students participated in both the voice over and creation of key art for the production, while local actors and actresses worked side by side with Twiddle and Kahmeleon Productions in Guam for the filming of the live action segments.

A talk-story with the film's director, producers, and animators will take place after the screening.

Food and drink will be provided by the Chamorro Food Truck!

All screenings are free and open to the public. Screenings will be hosted by Bess Press at da SHOP, located at 3565 Harding Avenue, Honolulu, HI 96816

Municipal parking lots located across with entrances at 11th, 12th and Koko Head Avenue.
