What happens

Boys Diving, Honolulu è un cortometraggio muto del 1901, diretto da Robert Kates Bonine. Brevi filmati che ritraevano gruppi di bambini furono da subito molto popolari. Questo si distingue per il contesto geografico particolare, la qualità tecnica delle riprese e l'accurata struttura artistica della composizione. I bambini (i cui nomi non sono accreditati) interpretano se stessi con estrema naturalezza. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
