Language in the Community: Noho Hewa Showing


The Women's Studies Colloquium Series is pleased to present:
A presentation by Anne Keala Kelly on her film Noho Hewa: The Wrongful Occupation of Hawai`i 


Noho Hewa: The Wrongful Occupation of Hawai'i

September 18, 12:30pm - 2:00pm
Manoa Campus, Saunders 637


Noho Hewa is the first feature length film produced by Hawaiian journalist and filmmaker Anne Keala Kelly, who directed, shot and edited the film over the course of five years. 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.
