GET UP TO SPEED ON… MARTIN SCORSESE’S HAWAIIAN CRIME DRAMA
IT’S BASED ON A REAL-LIFE POLYNESIAN TURF WAR
Tantalisingly described as a Hawaiian GoodFellas-meets-The Departed, Martin Scorsese’s return to Mob moviemaking is set to chart the hitherto untold true story of Polynesian crime boss Wilford ‘Nappy’ Pulawa and his battle for control of Hawaii’s criminal underworld against rival gangs and corporations throughout the late ’60s and early ’70s. Billed as “the last great American Mob saga”, it’s as much a story of cultural survival as it is of criminal enterprise.
