Hula Girls

Hula Girls

Watched the japanese movie, Hula Girls. It's based on a real-life story about a cold, northern, japanese, coal mining town. The town's mine is beig shut down and 2,000 miners will be put out of work. A Hawaiin themed tourist attraction is planned to save the town, and the coal miners' daughters all get together to form a Hula troupe with the help of an instructor from Tokyo. But, the local miner's union is against the project. It was decent and had a Footloose kinda feel to it.
