Details

Episode description: In 1931, the U.S. Navy dominated Hawaii, and Americans thought of the islands as their private paradise in the Pacific. But then a sensational rape trial that ended in a hung jury, the subsequent murder of one of the defendants, and the trial of a Kentucky sailor and his mother for the killing shook the semblance of tranquility and exposed the racial tensions roiling beneath the surface.
