Summary:

Poignant saga of cultures clashing across generations as a Bengali family attempts to acclimate to life in the U.S. Kal Penn, Tabu. Directed by Mira Nair. A PLACE IN THE MIDDLE is the true story of a young girl in Hawaiʻi who dreams of leading the boys-only hula group at her school, and a teacher who empowers her through traditional culture. This kid-friendly educational film is a great way to get students thinking and talking about the values of diversity and inclusion, the power of knowing your heritage, and how to prevent bullying by creating a school climate of aloha – from their own point of view!
