Film shows late senator through his son's eyes.
By Mike Gordon
The life of U.S. Sen. Daniel K. Inouye is filled with stories about his time in Congress, but a new documentary, screening today at Ward Warehouse, showcases personal stories told by the late senator's son.
"Senator Inouye: Told By His Son," a biographical documentary by Gloria C. Borland, is described as having an intimate edge. In the film, Daniel "Ken" Inouye, Jr. shares what it was like growing up as the senator's son and their life in Washington, D.C.
Other lesser-known stories are also part of the film, including President Lyndon B. Johnson's thoughts on making Inouye his vice president, their work on the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Inouye's efforts in 1971 to lower the national voting age from 21 to 18, which came at a time when young men were allowed to be drafted but not to vote.
The screening marks what would have been Inouye's 92nd birthday. It is a fundraiser for the Hawaii Democratic Party and will run from 6 to 8 p.m. in the Kakaako Room on the second floor of Ward Warehouse. Admission is $35 and includes beef stews, cake and refreshments. Tickets are available online at www.hawaiidemocrats.org
Ken Inouye and his family will be among the guests.
