Guide Note: After Heaven is a 2009 film based on the true story of the Hawaiian princess Ka'iulani and her attempts to keep Hawaii independent against the threat of oncoming American colonization. The film garnered some early controversy among Hawaiians due to it's original title of Barbarian Princess, the casting of a non-Hawaiian to play the Princess and the use of the Iolani Palace as a filming location.

Director: Marc Forby

The Iolani Palace is normally off limits to commercial filming
Hawaiian State Senator Clayton Hee issued this message to the state film commissioner: "The grade-C movie being filmed at Iolani Palace should properly describe what it is, an inaccurate and insensitive depiction, an extension of the treatment of others towards the host culture at the expense of the treatment of each of us taxpayers."
