The story told in the film is filled with total falsehoods.  For example:

"The Story"  Near the bottom, it says:

"Forward to: 1893 We see the reporter and Liliuokalani discussing Kapiʻolani when the U.S. Marines now enter the palace of Liliuokalani. She surrenders as the reporter attempts to intervene. We see her signing a formal abdication with her telling everyone she will appeal to President Grover Cleveland."

The lie that concerns me most is that U.S. Marines invaded the Palace in 1893.  Never happened.  Inouye said the same lie on the floor of U.S. Senate during debate on Akaka bill:  See

A lot of people believe this lie.  Movies like this make more people believe it.  The result is anti-American and anti-haole hatred.  Does a movie really need to tell inflammatory lies in order to sell tickets?
