Backdrop

Language of a Nation

This four part docu-series explores the rise and fall of the sovereign Hawaiian Kingdom as told through the hundreds of thousands of Hawaiian language newspapers that were hidden away after the overthrow of the Hawaiian government only to be rediscovered and translated today. It follows the suppression of language through education and politics and will challenge everything you thought you knew about Hawai’i and hopefully inspire you to learn more about Hawai’i’s history.
