Act of War: The Overthrow of the Hawaiian Nation (1993)
This hour-long documentary is a provocative look at a historical event of which few Americans are aware. In mid-January, 1893, armed troops from the U.S.S Boston landed at Honolulu in support of a treasonous coup d’état against the constitutional sovereign of the Hawaiian Kingdom, Queen Lili‘uokalani. The event was described by U.S. President Grover Cleveland as an "act of war." indigenous, hawaii, pacific island, genocide, colonialism, woman director, imperialism, native hawaiian, pacific islanders
