Islands Under Contract

Wartime Hawaiʻi. Military officials use clearance files to control work at the docks and punish families at home. Dockworkers and Native Hawaiian organizers try to protect their families while deciding how much to trust the outsiders offering help.

The docks feed a war machine that calls its control temporary and its punishments necessary. Organizers know the schedules, the foremen, and the families carrying the cost. Anyone offering help will have to respect their decisions, including their right to refuse.
