‘Noho Hewa’ puts in context the struggle of modern Hawaiians

Noho Hewa opens with this excerpt from the poem “Hawaii” by activist Haunani-Kay Trask:

“… Haole plover / plundering the archipelago of our world, / And we, gorging ourselves / on lost shells / blowing a tourist conch / into the wounds / of catastrophe.”

The poem is a most fitting summary of the film (an uncompleted version was viewed for this review), which explicitly illustrates that the phenomenon of colonialism extends beyond the physical occupation of the land or replacement of the culture.

Noho Hewa premieres at HIFF

NOHO HEWA: The Wrongful Occupation of Hawaii
Premiering at the Hawaii International Film Festival
Monday, October 13, 6:15 PM, Dole Cannery, Honolulu

This film connects the military occupation of Hawai’i to the fraudulence of statehood, the Akaka Bill, homelessness, desecration and more.

Featured interviews: Haunani-Kay Trask, Kaleikoa Ka’eo, Noenoe Silva, Keanu Sai, J. Kehaulani Kauanui and others.

It’s important for people to come to this screening because they can vote for the film— and any attention this film gets shines a light on the issues represented in the film— and will help bring those issues to a larger audience outside of Hawaii.

“Noho Hewa” can and should be used to further our collective causes here.  It’s not often that  a feature length film represents actual Hawaiian matters or has the opportunity to be seen by a worldwide audience.  Any chance we have to get our issues known beyond the local, corporate and haole owned media should be siezed.

Your support for this film will be appreciated and I hope to see everyone there.

Mahalo nui,

Keala
