Well, I just came back from watching this film today. I watched 'Fire and Ice' and 'Islands of Sanctuary'. Islands of Sanctuary features Hawaiians and Aborigine living in Australia. How is it relevant to social work? Social Justice and Cultural sensitivity! This film is eye opening and gives a voice to Indigenous people across continents. This is documentary is beautiful and informative. I have much huge appreciation for George Helm and his contribution to Hawaii and feel changed from watching this film in a good way.
