Releasing Friday, August 21st.Tomorrow marks a significant day in Hawaii history, being that it's the 50th anniversary since Hawaii was signed into statehood. It's a bittersweet moment because of the politics involved behind the scenes.

Having not been touched by human civilization, they discussed how each individual island has its own ecosystem, in turn each island having its own species. No cross breeding. Immaculate and untouched for decades. This just goes to show how our islands yield wildlife that are only found on our islands. Another example is the silversword (sometimes known as greenswords).
