Justice Delayed is Justice Denied tells of the ongoing struggle to ensure that the State of Hawai'i fulfills its commitments to the Native Hawaiian people stemming from the loss of their ancestral lands. The film describes the deep connection between Native Hawaiians and their ancestral lands, and how a portion of these lands were seized from the Hawaiian Kingdom after the overthrow in 1893 and placed in what today is called the Public Land Trust. The state administers this trust and is legally required to provide a portion of revenues from the trust to Native Hawaiians.
