"Then There Were None"
The Powerful Story of Native Hawaiians
Exiled in Their Own Homeland

To millions of travelers the world over, Hawai'i is an alluring postcard paradise. But to its indigenous people, the Native Hawaiians, nothing could be further from the truth. Thier compelling story, of a race displaced by outside influences and now on the verge of extinction is told in this award-winning 30-minute documentary which will air on national PBS television on Thursday, May 23, 1996.

Using archival stills, rare films, and vintage and contemporary melodies, actress, filmmaker, and former Miss Hawai'i Elizabeth Kapu'uwailani Lindsey takes viewers on a moving journey of a once-sovereign people on the verge of becoming exiles in their own homeland. It is a simple story, poetically told, capturing the Hawaiians' tragic struggle from a centuries-old thriving community of more than 500,000 pure-blooded people in 1778 to a population of less than 9,000 today.

THEN THERE WERE NONE won the Chris Award at last year's Columbus International Film Festival, and was a feature presentation of the Pacific Island Images Film Festival in American Samoa, Guam, and Hawai'i, and the Hawai'i International Film Festival.

The PBS broadcast of THEN THERE WERE NONE is a presentation of Pacific Islanders in Communications (PIC), a minority consortium funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting for the purpose of increasing Pacific Islander-produced programming which fosters a deeper understanding of and appreciation for values inherent in Pacific Island cultures.
