Kona - Theater Wanted!
by: J. D'Alba

Aloha,
Your question as to why Hilo and not Kona is valid. Please suggest a theater in Kona and we will do everything to bring "Hawaii A Voice For Sovereignty" there.
We are working with limited staff & resouces, but nonetheless doing everything we can to make the film available throughout the Hawaiian Islands and the world. Any assistance, suggestions, and support is appreciated.
Malama pono,
Aloha Ke Akua,

Why only Hilo
by: Anonymous

So you want the Ohana to drive all the way to Hilo from Kona? and this film will begin it's world tour? what about those who can not afford to drive to Hilo because of the economic situation. Now I understand how it is on since US occupation.....at least the US will make sure the film will get to us...
