How did Hawaii go from an independent nation to a United State? Explore the controversial nature of Hawaii's statehood in this documentary, tracing the history of Hawaii's control at the hands of the U.S.

Hawaii was an independent nation until January 17, 1893. That day, the archipelago and its monarchical government were overthrown illegally by the United States. Since then, the USA has taken over Hawaii illegitimately, turning the island into a military base that threatens world peace, while sovereignty groups organize to rescue its legitimacy.—Anonymous
