In the waning days of summer 1931, Honolulu's tropical tranquility was shattered when a young Navy wife made a drastic allegation of rape against five nonwhite islanders. What unfolded in the following days and weeks was a racially-charged murder case that would make headlines across the nation, enrage Hawai'i's native population, and galvanize the island's law enforcers and the nation's social elite.

The Massie Affair recounts the sensational true crime story that rocked 1930s Hawai'i. Written and produced by Mark Zwonitzer (Joe DiMaggio: The Hero's Life, Transcontinental Railroad), the documentary draws on research done by David Stannard, author of Honor Killing, a book that examines the same topic.
