Lush scenery and gorgeous photography highlight this bio of Princess Kaiulani (Q'Orianka Kilcher),



a 19th-century Hawaiian princess raised in England but determined to maintain her people's independence from aggressive American businessmen. After being sent to England as a child by her Scottish father, Kaiulani returns to Hawaii and becomes a political activist who fights to retain her throne, even though she must leave her English paramour.

4 stars. A small peak into the life of Princess Ka`iulani and the overthrow of the Hawai`i. Very beautiful and a very sad story. Be sure to watch the Special Features, we gave it a score of 5 stars!!!!!
