Wonderful film about that most humble of musical instruments...the ukulele. This was in part an historical survey...it originated in Portugal...came to Hawaii in the late 1800's...and has been denigrated ever since.
But the film quickly became a celebration...making the point that when people see, hear or play a uke they smile. It looks like a toy. It can be used to play most anything. It brings people together and gives folks the means to make their own music...which is what everyone did before the invention of recording devices.
This was shot all over the world and I hope will lead to a resurgence of interest in this delightful tool for fun.
