Christian missionaries came to Hawaii and put the fear of God into a people that were otherwise living a very peaceful, natural existence..much like the indians of North America before the expansion westward. Christian missionaries were the worst thing that could have happened to these people's culture...they literally used the fear of God in order to exploit the islands' sandalwood for exportation and for molding its inhabitants into compliance...and yet movies like this are mana for modern day Christians.
Using fear to conquer and subjugate a people in order to use them to your own ends is about as far away from Godly as you can get, let alone something to rejoice in, but here we are.
