An American Boyhood:

Barack Obama in Hawaii

An independent documentary film

In 1963, just 22 months after Barack Obama was born, John F. Kennedy said, "Hawaii is what the rest of the world is striving to become." President Kennedy couldn't have imagined how apt that statement would be 45 years later as a son of Hawaii is poised to become the next president of the United States.

This film tells the compelling story of Barack Obama's childhood through the voices of those who knew him well during his formative years in Hawaii. Those years in the 60s and 70s were critical in shaping the unique individual who is making history today, yet few voters really know much about the childhood experiences that have defined Senator Obama. In reporting his biography, the media largely has centered on his time in Chicago as a community organizer, lawyer and constitutional law professor. The story of Senator Obama's upbringing in Hawaii must be told in order for Americans to fully understand how it enabled him to become the first African- American nominee for president.

The one-hour film explores Senator Obama's roots to find out who and what influenced his values, viewpoints, passions and policies. Through the voices of childhood friends, teachers, coaches and family, we learn what made Senator Obama who he is today.
