Act of War, Overthrow of the Hawaiian Nation

Presented by Jesse Heiwa.

This hour-long documentary is a provocative look at a historical event of which few Americans are aware. In mid-January, 1893, armed troops from the U.S.S. Boston landed at Honolulu in support of a treasonous coup d'etat against the constitutional sovereign of the Hawaiian Kingdom, Queen Lili'uokalani. The event was described by U.S. President Grover Cleveland as "an act of war." See More of about the Movie.

The film will be followed by a discussion on the current state of the Hawaiian national struggle.

A free event, open to all.

Where: the AJ Muste building, Muste Room 3rd Floor
339 Lafayette St. buzzer #11 NYC
(corner of Bleecker & Lafayette Sts, by the 6 train Bleeker street station, one block north of Houston).
