Cane Fire critically examines the island's history -- and the various strategies by which Hollywood has represented it--through four generations of director Anthony Banua-Simon's family, who first immigrated to Kauaʻi from the Philippines to work on the sugar plantations. Assembled from a diverse array of sources -- from Banua-Simon's observational footage, to amateur YouTube travelogues, to epic Hollywood dance sequences -- Cane Fire offers a kaleidoscopic portrait of the economic and cultural forces that have cast Indigenous and working-class residents as "extras" in their own story."--DVD ; English 5.1 or 2.0.Best Feature Documentary, Indie Memphis Film Festival, 2020Grand Jury Award for Best Documentary Feature, Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival, 2021Jason D.
