The United States of Hypocrisy: The Stolen Nation of Hawaii

About This Movie

This documentary dives deep into Hawaii's troubling history, really peeling back layers that many might overlook. The tone is heavy and reflective, creating an atmosphere that feels both urgent and contemplative. The pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to digest the weight of the subject matter, especially around the concept of 'blood quantum' and its implications for Hawaiian identity. It’s raw in its presentation, with a focus on real stories rather than flashy editing - a choice that enhances its impact. The emotional performances from those sharing their truths add a distinct layer of authenticity that resonates throughout the film.

This film has had a limited release, making it relatively scarce in collector circles. It appears in a few niche documentary compilations but is hard to find in standalone formats. Its themes resonate particularly well with collectors interested in indigenous rights and historical narratives, giving it a certain appeal for those who appreciate deep, sometimes painful storytelling.
