“Ethnic cleansing isn’t just something that they do physically to people, it’s something that happens in the mind.”
This was said by Haunani-Kay Trask in an onscreen interview in the documentary “Noho Hewa.” Haunani goes on to say that ethnic cleansing establishes within a people’s mind-set that “You have no place to live. You do not have a home, so you do not exist.” This manao (thought) is what Anne Keala Kelly is trying to capture in her first feature length documentary, “Noho Hewa.”
