ACT OF WAR: The Overthrow of the Hawaiian Nation
|
|
|
|
|
ACT OF WAR examines the circumstances surrounding the illegal overthrow of the Hawaiian sovereignty in 1893, Hawaii's subsequent U.S. annexation, and its impact from a native Hawaiian perspective.
Premiere: Public Television, August 1994
"This is an overdue corrective account of the US annexation of Hawaii-from the point of view of the overthrown."
- Amnesty International Newsletter
"ACT OF WAR makes the case for Hawaiian sovereignty in scholarly and artful fashion...this film does a good job of avoiding empty rhetoric...It is a potent educational tool."
- Honolulu Advertiser
"Here the personal becomes political...With a wealth of academic and archival sources...the film will make you think twice about your next walk at Waikiki."
- Province Showcase
