Annie Goldson, producer/writer/director; Owen Scott, writer; Theresa Koroivulaono, consultant (Occasional Productions, 2008) On July 1, 2001, prominent couple John Scott and his partner Greg Scrivener were murdered in their Suva, Fiji home. This film traces the extraordinary and colorful story of the Scott family, the political crises that have marked Fiji’s recent history, the killings and their aftermath, and the complex mix of tribal authority, ethnicity, Christianity, and democracy that exist in the postcolonial Pacific. Filmmaker Annie Goldson (University of Auckland), Vilsoni Hereniko (University of Hawai'i at Manoa), and Tarcicius Kabutaulaka (University of Hawai'i at Manoa) will introduce the film and lead a discussion afterward. The screening is co-sponsored by the AHA Working Group for Historical Perspectives on Same-Sex Marriage.
