DVD Reviews of American Experience: Hawaii's Last Queen

DVD Review: Interesting story!
Summary: 5 Stars

Bought this as a gift for a friend of mine who grew up in Hawaii. She really enjoyed it! Great story!

DVD Review: On Hawaii's Last Queen
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a useful resource for teachers of Modern Hawaiian History, a required high school course in the state of Hawaii. Well-documented and presented, it provides a compelling discussion of the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy through the life of its last queen.

DVD Review: Learn the Truth
Summary: 5 Stars

If you love Hawai'i, Hawaiian people and culture or if you just get a special feeling while visiting our home and you care to know more, know what really happened here not so long ago and why some of us hold certain feelings strong and close to our hearts, then see this film.

DVD Review: Missionaries are evil.
Summary: 4 Stars

Extremely educational. After watching it is difficult to understand how the decendants of these missionaries (or any), can sleep at night. Unasnwered in the video are the obvious questions of why the U.S. government hasn't apologized, and shouldn't the families of these missionaries who own the stolen Hawaiian land be forced to donate it to the public or to those with a certain percentage of Hawiian blood? Despite these questions, the video is moving, educational and extremely depressing. Sort of leaves you feeling so not proud to be an American, and even more ashamed of the Christian missionaries who stole the Hawaiian land and took occupation and finally imprisoned an old, peaceful woman to steal her power. The only mystery really is how that missionary grandson featured in the video can actually defend the actions of his ancestors and still look into the camera. Or for that matter, how he actually sleeps at night. it leaves you repulsed.

DVD Review: WOW!
Summary: 5 Stars

I learned a lot from this DVD. I did not know why the other Hawaiians were so angry because my mother grew up the English way. As I watched, something in me understood the anger of being betrayed. All I can say is that I am ashamed of the American Government for not giving back what they do not own.
