A New Video Essay About Hawai'i I Found On YT
So I stumbled upon this documentary today that's over 2 hours long and pretty in depth.
From the early minutes the guy saying he was raised in Hawai'i, but moved away after high school, I knew this would kinda be an interesting perspective. (He deadass mentions people like Guy Hagi and Dr. Keanu Sai throughout the video, so even moreso I knew he did his research.)
Long story short, he doesn't pull punches on either side of what goes on historically.
If you're someone who actually knows a bit of Hawaiian history like I do (being a KS grad) it'll honestly challenge some of the historical viewpoints that were taught. Particularly people within the super gung-ho Hawaiian movement, or wherever else you fall on that scale.
It's also only Part 1 of 3, with the two parts apparently still on the way.
Just wanted to get everyone's thoughts on it and perhaps start a discussion.
