In the Hawaiian language, hewa means “wrong” and noho means “to occupy”. This documentary is a contemporary look at Hawaiian people, politics and resistance in the face of their systematic erasure under U.S. laws, economy, militarism, and real estate speculation. It is a raw, unscripted story that makes critical links between seemingly unrelated industries, and is told from the perspective of Hawaiians.
Anne Keala Kelly is a Hawaiian journalist and filmmaker reporting on politics, culture, the environment and indigenous peoples. She has filed stories from Hawaii, where she lives, as well as Geneva and Katmandu.
