Cultural tolerance and bias are two hallmarks influencing human attitudes and actions which may affect every aspect of our lives. The 1966 film, Hawai’i, specifically centered on how the cultural bias and intolerance of missionaries reduced cultural diversity of the Hawai’ian Polynesians after attempting to convert this culture to their own faith and thereby, remodeling the Hawai’ian society after their principals. This film gives a clear understanding of what tragic events occurred when missionaries tried to “liberate” the Hawai’ian culture without understanding why the culture evolved as it did, sometimes out of necessity. This film is a great way to introduce the ideas of cultural diversity in residency programs. It also serves as a way for residency programs to explore the role between a child psychiatrist and the treatment of children and their families when they are of different cultural backgrounds. It also allows the issue of counter-transference and transference to be paralleled in the relationship depicted in the movie between the missionaries and the Hawai’ian people.
