Aloha. Mahalo nui for your continued support of the documentary Hawaii A Voice For Sovereignty. We look forward to screening in Hilo tomorrow Oct. 13th. It is an honor that Skippy Ioane will be there to help us talk story and understand what is happening in the community.
It was great. Nothing sentimental, just incisive around major themes. You can buy the DVD from Catherine Beauknight’s website. Don’t forget to examine the globe she has there showing the places in the world where people have shown interest in the subject matter.
Cheers to the lady in the wheelchair, Agnes Tavares, for bringing Beauknight to Hawaii Island.
