Actor Al Harrington and awarded Ambassador to Maui says
" Hawaii A Voice for Sovereignty, the documentary, is like having Queen Liliuokalani re-appearing in Washington, D.C. in 2009 with all her thousands of people that signed the petitions protesting the overthrow of their monarchy and the proposed 1898 annexation. I can hear them shouting to the U.S. congress, "we are still here asking and hoping for justice and equity and he also adds“Hawaii A Voice for Sovereignty allows the grassroots people of the "host culture" of Hawaii to express their need for acknowledgment and respect for their contribution in making Hawaii what it is today and what it can be tomorrow. Imua Hawaii Imua. We the people of the 'host culture' are still here ''

Hawaii - A Voice for Sovereignty - Demo


Hawaii – A Voice for Sovereignty is a documentary film by photojournalist Catherine Bauknight that explores the culture of the Native Hawaiians and their connection to the land. At the forefront of the film are social, economic, and ecological issues that have developed in Hawaii since the takeover by the U.S. in 1893, revealed in interviews with grassroots indigenous people and scholars such as author, Haunani-Kay Trask. The documentary goal is to raise awareness of the issues faced by the Native Hawaiians, which threatens their ancient and environmentally sustainable culture. Bauknight hopes to bring this film to the world stage by theatrical release, screenings at international film festivals, and television programming.
