"Hawaii A Voice For Sovereignty" Packs The Pacific Rim Film Festival!With nearly 500 people in attendance, "Hawaii A Voice For Sovereignty", filled the Rio Theater in Santa Cruz, California Tuesday evening at the Pacific Rim Film Festival. "It was a great experience" declared filmmaker Catherine Bauknight.Following the screening, a scheduled thirty minute Q and A discussion exceeded the allotted time before the discussion was continued outside the theater. "The audience was eager to learn more information about the issues affecting the Hawaiians. The questions went from 'why' to 'what happens next', from history to culture; with empathy, compassion, anger, and frustration clearly being expressed. It was as if the audience was completely captivated by the message the Hawaiians conveyed throughout the film. They got it! The world is beginning to see the importance of justice for Hawaii Nei ", added Bauknight emphatically.This week marks one of the most exciting weeks in the history of the film as screenings on Moloka Oct. 22nd, Kauai Oct. 25th, and New York City Oct. 23rd.
