Customer Reviews

Worth it for the pictures alone.

This DVD contains a video that is part of the PBS “American Experience” program S9.E4. I know the general history from other readings. However, this was a well-put-together presentation of how to pilfer a country by the government and business interests. I will not go through the details, as that is why you are purchasing this documentary. It puts the world of time in perspective. And of course, focuses on Hawaii's Last Hawaiian Queen Lili'uokalani and her overthrow in 1893.
