MEDIA RELEASE HAWAI‘I FILM RECEIVES SPECIAL JURY PRIZE AT TAHITI FILM FESTIVAL FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MEDIA CONTACT: PAPEETE, TAHITI – Hawaiian filmmaker Anne Keala Kelly’s newly released documentary “Noho Hewa: The Wrongful Occupation of Hawai‘i” was awarded a special jury prize at this week’s Festival International Du Film Documentaire Oceanien (FIFO) in Tahiti. The packed Grand Theatre at Papeete’s Maison de la Culture exploded into loud cheers, hoots and applause when the special jury prize for Noho Hewa: The Wrongful Occupation of Hawai‘i was announced last night at the closing event of the Festival International Du Film Documentaire Oceanien (FIFO) in Tahiti. Jurors were moved by its raw and passionate portrayal of the struggles of today’s native Hawaiians. Noho Hewa had attracted considerable attention among the professional and community viewers for its edgy and explicit expression of the ongoing effects of colonialism in Hawai‘i. For many Tahitian and other visiting Pacific island viewers, Kelly’s film enabled them to understand, for the first time, the realities faced by the Hawaiian people in their own homeland, and the kanaka Maoli (native Hawaiian) resistance to the desecration and obliteration of their culture by the US military, real estate development, and tourism pressures.

Mahalo, — You know sometimes these references come in the most random places, but I always find it amusing and telling when people talk about Hawaii as a foreign country. I’m a big football fan and sometimes listen to football podcasts, and happened to stumble across this… On today’s ESPN’s Football Today Podcast Jeremy Green is interviewing former Packers WR Antonio Freeman about the NFL Pro Bowl, and he says this:
So, Antonio Freeman, who came to Hawaii as part of the Pro Bowl, thinks that Hawaii is not part of the United States, is not a state lol. He’s right, of course. But it just goes to show you how common the perception is of Hawaii as a foreign country, even among people who have no real awareness of Hawaii’s history or independence movement. It happens more often than you might think. Star-Bulletin article considers the effect of the loss of Democrat’s supermajority in the Senate on the fate of the Akaka bill:
