Cannibal Island
1956 · Film · documentary · 75 min
Directed by Edward A. Salisbury
Though the release date says 1956, this film consists mostly of footage from a 1931 documentary called "Gow the Killer." It was the first sound film to deal with cannibalism, as it documented the social life and customs of primitive tribes that in fact did engage in cannibalism.

Thanks, I watched a documentary about this on the "Nature of Things".

I don't know if this was true in Cuba. But many people in the former soviet union states already relied on growing their own food because of shortages in stores. So basic farming knowledge, and even relying on small farmers was more common. To what degree and how quickly a place like Hawaii would adopt I'm not sure. Many farms in Hawaii are geared to monocrop production, and are large and corporately owned. They would first need to taken over. Also, Hawaii is a paradise. But growing common agricultural crops there is surprisingly difficult.
