Go Beyond ‘Island Style’ and ‘Acoustic Soul.’ This documentary film is the heartwarming story of John’s life. Sometimes uplifting and other times bittersweet, it is an honest, revealing story that has never before been told. The music is intimate, powerful and exhilarating. The interviews are hilarious, intense and inspiring. John’s friends Jack Johnson, Jackson Browne, Kelly Slater and Jake Shimabukuro stopped by to add color and insight into one of Hawaii’s best-loved performers. As an added indulgence, it’s jam-packed with new music and with all the favorite songs John’s fans love.

Islanders know these John Cruz lyrics by heart: "On the island, we do it island style. From the mountain to the ocean, from the windward to the leeward side." That is the unofficial anthem for many Hawaii residents, but many of us do not know the actual man behind the music. Cruz offers genuine and thought provoking anecdotes, from hanabata day in Palolo Valley to 12 years of struggle on the East Coast to ultimately achieving personal and professional equilibrium back in the islands he loves. Director Leslie Truglio goes beyond those formulaic made-for-television documentaries to explore the soulful inspiration behind the personal style the Na Hoku Hanohano and Grammy Award Winning artist refers to as "acoustic soul" - Louis Vuitton, Hawaii Int'l Film Festival

John is great songwriter and a great singer. He's one of the best. He's one of those people who's just made of music. - Jackson Browne
