The hula girl is one of the most potent and sexually alluring images in popular culture today, and has been for centuries. Award-winning documentary maker Trevor Graham asks why this popular rendering has maintained such a grip on the Western imagination as he charts the history of the image and the changes each succeeding generation has imposed on its representation"--SBS website Notes Off-air recording of SBS-TV broadcast September 10, 2008.
