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’état 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."
Act of War: The Overthrow of the Hawaiian Nation was directed by Puhipau and Joan Lander.
Act of War: The Overthrow of the Hawaiian Nation runs for 58min, and was released in 1993.
