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.
