NOHO HEWA: The Wrongful Occupation of Hawai'i

A documentary about the militarization of Hawai'i, desecration and forced removal of Hawaiian people received the Hawaii International Film Festival's highest award in the documentary film category, The Halekulani Golden Orchid Award For Best Documentary!

I am shocked and pleased and very, very grateful, and I accepted it on behalf of ALL OF US, especially the people in the film and others who are on the front lines of all of these issues working to take back our homeland.

There are still two more screenings and I am hoping people will come out. Not sure yet how the ticketing will work, but the festival will be showing it for free on Friday, Oct 17th at 3:30 pm and Sunday, Oct 19th at 6:45 pm. HIFF is doing this to make up for the trouble with the limited capacity theater the film found itself in on Monday. Let's take 'em up on it and talk story about this story.

Hopefully by tomorrow we will know if people can get those free tickets online or if they have to show up first.

Please tell people to come out. It's important to see Hawaiians in Hawaiian world on the big screen when possible and the subject matter is immediate and dire. I can't believe this little movie won the award, but it still needs all of us to show up, if possible, and take the opportunity to talk story about what's happening here.

BIG PS—Kupuna need to have priority, so please help me with this, in case I am distracted by the technical stuff. If folks come with kupuna, let's all put them at the front of any line, if there is a line. It about broke my heart to see Uncle Mel standing outside trying to get in and then not getting in. Hey... here's an idea, let's all bring kupuna!
