The Synopsis
This hour-long documentary is a provocative look at a historical event of which few Americans are aware. In mid-January, 1893, armed troops from the U.S.S Boston landed at Honolulu in support of a treasonous coup dāĆ©tat against the constitutional sovereign of the Hawaiian Kingdom, Queen Liliāuokalani. The event was described by U.S. President Grover Cleveland as an "act of war."
